dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Cancer Research
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 of the United States. Although the petitioner was found to be a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, the evidence provided did not sufficiently demonstrate that the petitioner would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications, which is a key requirement for the waiver.
