dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Medical Research
Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, finding the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The AAO dismissed the appeal, upholding the denial and noting significant contradictions in the counsel's arguments, which simultaneously claimed the waiver was needed to keep the petitioner at his current job and also to allow him the freedom to pursue other opportunities.
