dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Biostatistics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The director found that while the petitioner was involved in various research projects, her role was one of support or consultation rather than a leading one. The evidence, such as grant applications where she was not listed as key personnel, did not demonstrate that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
