dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Medical Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver was in the national interest. The evidence provided, primarily letters from witnesses, was not compelling as the witnesses were all close collaborators, co-workers, or former classmates, rather than independent experts. Furthermore, the petitioner did not submit objective evidence, such as independent citation records, to demonstrate the impact of his published research.
