dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Virology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. Although the petitioner's work in virology was found to have intrinsic merit and be national in scope, the evidence did not demonstrate a past history of achievement with a degree of influence on the field as a whole, beyond their immediate circle of colleagues.
