dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Neuroscience
Decision Summary
The director found that while the petitioner qualifies as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, he did not establish that an exemption from the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The AAO dismissed the appeal, concurring that the petitioner failed to demonstrate that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker, as required by the national interest waiver framework.
