dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Molecular Biology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the third prong of the national interest waiver test. Although the petitioner's work in biological research was found to have intrinsic merit and be national in scope, the AAO concluded that he had not demonstrated a past history of achievement with a degree of influence on the field as a whole, citing a lack of significant citations and witness letters that did not sufficiently set him apart from other researchers.
Criteria Discussed
Substantial Intrinsic Merit National In Scope Serving The National Interest To A Substantially Greater Degree Than A Minimally Qualified U.S. Worker
