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. While the petitioner's work in medical research on hepatitis C was found to have substantial intrinsic merit and be national in scope, they did not establish that their past record and accomplishments justified projections of future benefit that would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker.
