dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Biomedical Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a doctoral student, failed to establish that waiving the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The director acknowledged the petitioner's qualifications but found that her temporary student status and the unavailability of a labor certification were not sufficient grounds for the waiver. The petitioner's past record was not deemed sufficient to justify projections of future benefit to the national interest to the degree required for the waiver.
