dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Medical Research

📅 Date unknown 👤 Individual 📂 Medical Research

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. Specifically, the petitioner did not prove that his contributions to his field would be substantially greater than those of a similarly qualified U.S. worker, a key requirement for the waiver. The AAO also noted that the petitioner's continued employment was not contingent on the waiver, as he already held H-1B status and a labor certification was pending.
