dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Biophysics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While his work was found to have substantial intrinsic merit and be national in scope, the evidence submitted, particularly witness letters, was deemed insufficient to demonstrate his impact and influence on the field. The letters contained similar, unsupported assertions about journal rankings, which undermined their evidentiary weight.
Criteria Discussed
Substantial Intrinsic Merit National In Scope Influence On The Field (Serving National Interest To A Greater Degree Than A U.S. Worker)
