dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Neuroscience
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. While his research in vestibular physiology had intrinsic merit and was national in scope, his minimal citation record (two independent citations) was insufficient to prove his work had a significant impact on the field beyond his immediate collaborators.
