dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Medical Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. While the petitioner's work in cancer detection was found to have intrinsic merit and be national in scope, their record of achievement at the time of filing, including minimally cited publications and a lack of evidence showing widespread influence, was deemed insufficient to meet the waiver's high standard.
Criteria Discussed
