dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Immunology Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While the AAO agreed the petitioner's work in immunology had intrinsic merit and was national in scope, it found the petitioner did not establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker, lacking a demonstrated past history of achievement with significant influence on the field as a whole.
Criteria Discussed
Employment In An Area Of Substantial Intrinsic Merit Proposed Benefit Will Be National In Scope Alien Will Serve The National Interest To A Substantially Greater Degree Than An Available U.S. Worker Past Record Of Achievement Justifying Projections Of Future Benefit
