dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Public Health
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While the director acknowledged the petitioner's work in public health had intrinsic merit and was national in scope, the AAO found the petitioner had not established that their past achievements had a significant influence on the field as a whole, which is necessary to prove they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
Criteria Discussed
Substantial Intrinsic Merit National In Scope Serving National Interest To A Substantially Greater Degree Than A U.S. Worker Past Record Of Achievement
