dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Medicinal Chemistry
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While the field had merit and national scope, the petitioner did not establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker. The evidence, including witness letters from a limited circle of collaborators and mentors and a low number of citations to his work, did not demonstrate a significant impact or influence on the field as a whole.
