dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Neuroscience
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The AAO found that the petitioner's past record, particularly the evidence regarding a forthcoming book chapter, did not sufficiently justify projections of future benefit to the nation. The significance and dissemination of her work were not adequately established, as the publisher appeared to operate on a 'print-to-order' basis without clear peer-review standards.
