dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Neuroscience
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While the petitioner's work in neuroscience was deemed to be of substantial intrinsic merit and national in scope, she did not establish that her contributions would benefit the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications, as her record did not demonstrate sufficient influence on the field as a whole.
