dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Genetic Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While the petitioner's work in genetic research was found to be of substantial intrinsic merit and national in scope, their past record of achievement at the time of filing, which included only one published article, was insufficient to demonstrate they would benefit the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
