dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Neuroscience
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The AAO determined that the evidence submitted, such as membership in professional societies, was insufficient to prove the petitioner's past achievements were significant enough to justify the waiver, particularly failing to meet the requirement that the alien will serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
