dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Biophysics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner's record did not demonstrate that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. The evidence centered heavily on a single publication, which was deemed insufficient to meet the high standard for the waiver.
