dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Neurophysiology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While the petitioner's work in neurophysiology was found to have substantial intrinsic merit and be national in scope, they did not establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. The AAO determined the petitioner had not demonstrated a past history of achievement with a significant degree of influence on the field as a whole.
