dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Medical Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the final prong of the national interest waiver test. Although the petitioner's work in medical research was found to be of intrinsic merit and national in scope, the evidence did not establish that the petitioner would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. The letters of support were found to be unpersuasive and did not demonstrate a significant impact or unique contribution to the field.
