dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Cardiovascular Physiology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The AAO found the supporting evidence, particularly the witness letters, to be unpersuasive. The decision noted that many letters came from collaborators, one independent witness was unfamiliar with the petitioner's work prior to being contacted, and several letters contained identical boilerplate language, undermining the claim of widespread recognition and significant impact.
