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 would be in the national interest. While the director acknowledged that the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, the petitioner did not demonstrate that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker, which is a key requirement for the waiver.
Criteria Discussed
