dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Molecular Biology
Decision Summary
The AAO found that while the petitioner's work in biological research had substantial intrinsic merit and was national in scope, he failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. The petitioner did not establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker, as his record of achievement, including witness letters and publication citations, was not shown to have a significant degree of influence on the field as a whole.
