EB-2 NIW
remanded EB-2 NIW Case: Biochemistry/Physiology
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition based on a lack of evidence of the petitioner's impact, specifically the absence of citation records. The AAO remanded the case because the director never issued a Request for Evidence (RFE) and the petitioner, on appeal, claimed a high number of citations. The case was sent back to allow the petitioner an opportunity to provide documentary evidence to support this new claim.
