dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Cellular Biochemistry
Decision Summary
The petitioner, a doctoral student and research scientist in cellular biochemistry, sought a waiver of the job offer requirement, asserting it was in the national interest. The director initially denied the petition, finding that while the petitioner was a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, they failed to establish that the waiver was in the national interest. The AAO reviewed the evidence, including testimony on the petitioner's research into liver cancer and diabetes, and ultimately agreed with the director's finding, dismissing the appeal.
