dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Pharmacology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because while the petitioner's work in hypoglycemia and diabetes research was found to have substantial intrinsic merit and be national in scope, the petitioner did not establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. Evidence of a significant grant and new citations was not considered because it post-dated the petition's filing, and eligibility must be established as of the filing date.
