dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Medicine
Decision Summary
The director's finding that the petitioner's work was not national in scope was withdrawn, as the petitioner's research on COPD was deemed to have national benefits. However, the appeal was ultimately dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the final prong of the national interest waiver test: establishing that they will serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications, as they did not demonstrate a sufficient past history of achievement influencing the field.
