dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Protein Chemistry
Decision Summary
The motion to reopen was granted, but the AAO affirmed its prior decision to dismiss the appeal and deny the petition. While the petitioner's work in protein chemistry was acknowledged to have substantial intrinsic merit and national scope, the petitioner failed to establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker, thus failing the third prong of the NIW test.
Criteria Discussed
