dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Microbiology
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. Although the petitioner demonstrated extensive experience in his field, he did not provide sufficient objective evidence, such as independent citations, to show that his contributions were significantly greater than other researchers in his specialty or that he would benefit the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
