sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Bioanalytical Chemistry
Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, questioning the significance of the petitioner's citation record and his individual contributions to research projects. The AAO sustained the appeal, determining that the petitioner's record of developing novel biosensors and analytical instruments, as evidenced by his publications, influential citations, and letters from independent experts, was sufficient to demonstrate that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest.
