dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Medical Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate a past history of achievement with a degree of influence on the field as a whole. While his work was in an area of substantial merit and national scope, his single publication had only garnered two citations from co-authors, which was insufficient to prove he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
