dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Neuroscience
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker. While the petitioner's research on the vestibular system was acknowledged as having intrinsic merit and being national in scope, a minimal citation record of only two independent citations was deemed insufficient to demonstrate an influence on the field that stands out from other competent researchers.
Criteria Discussed
Substantial Intrinsic Merit National In Scope Serving National Interest To A Substantially Greater Degree Than A U.S. Worker
