dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Pathology
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, and the AAO dismissed the appeal, because the petitioner did not establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. Although qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, the petitioner failed to show that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker with minimum qualifications, as the evidence of his publications and citations was not sufficient to demonstrate major influence in the field.
