dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Virology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the third prong of the national interest waiver test: that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker. While the petitioner's work in virology was deemed to have intrinsic merit and be national in scope, their evidence, including limitedly cited articles and letters from close colleagues, was not sufficient to demonstrate a past history of achievement or influence on the field as a whole.
