dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Medicine
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. While the intrinsic merit and national scope of her work in medical research were not disputed, she did not prove that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. The AAO found that counsel's unsupported assertions about her impact and influence were not sufficient evidence.
