dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Chemical Biology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The evidence submitted, including letters of support and publication citations, was insufficient to demonstrate that the petitioner's work had attracted significant notice or influence outside of his immediate academic circle. The number of independent citations to his work was modest, and the letters of support were primarily from collaborators and former professors.
