dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Bioorganic Chemistry
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While the petitioner's work in bioorganic chemistry was found to have intrinsic merit and be national in scope, he did not establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The decision noted that most letters of support came from close colleagues rather than independent experts, which failed to demonstrate a significant influence on the field as a whole.
