dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Plant Biology And Genomics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver test. Although the AAO found the petitioner's work to be of intrinsic merit and national in scope, he did not establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The evidence, including testimonial letters and citation records, was found insufficient to demonstrate that the petitioner had a significant impact on his field beyond his immediate circle of collaborators.
