dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Medicine
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. Despite his significant earlier work, the AAO noted a dramatic decline in the petitioner's research productivity, with no full-length peer-reviewed articles published since 1997, which undermined his claims of future benefit to the national interest.
