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. Although the petitioner's work in virology was found to be of intrinsic merit and national in scope, their evidence, including reference letters from colleagues and a publication record with few independent citations, was deemed insufficient to demonstrate a past history of achievement with significant influence on the field as a whole.
