dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Cancer Research
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. While the petitioner was found to be a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, the AAO concurred with the director's finding that the petitioner failed to demonstrate they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than would an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications.
