dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Chemistry
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While the AAO agreed that the petitioner's research in cellular proteins had substantial intrinsic merit and was national in scope, it found that the petitioner did not establish that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The petitioner failed to demonstrate a past history of achievement with sufficient influence on the field as a whole.
