dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Medical Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver test. Although the AAO found that her work in medical research on Polycistic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) had substantial intrinsic merit and was national in scope, her record at the time of filing did not prove she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker, citing a lack of objective evidence of influence such as frequent citations.
Criteria Discussed
