dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Medicinal Chemistry
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that an exemption from the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The director had acknowledged the petitioner's qualifications as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. However, the petitioner did not successfully argue that she met the criteria for a national interest waiver, specifically the requirement to prove that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
