dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Neuroscience
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While the director and AAO agreed that the petitioner's work in cell cycle research had substantial intrinsic merit and was national in scope, the petitioner did not prove they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications or demonstrate a past record of achievement influencing the field as a whole.
