dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Biomedical Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. While the director and AAO did not dispute that the petitioner's field of cancer and HIV research has substantial intrinsic merit and is national in scope, they determined that simply working in an important area is not sufficient to warrant a national interest waiver.
Criteria Discussed
