dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Neonatology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish eligibility for a national interest waiver under the Matter of Dhanasar framework. Although the AAO acknowledged that the petitioner's proposed research into improving diagnostic and treatment protocols for infants has substantial merit and national importance, the final decision to dismiss indicates the petitioner failed to satisfy the remaining prongs of the test.
