sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Biochemistry
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the beneficiary's past record, including publications and strong testimonial evidence, justified future benefit to the national interest. The evidence demonstrated that the beneficiary's research in cystic fibrosis at UNC-CH was of significant importance, with one expert calling him an 'intellectual force who has discovered a new paradigm' critical to the 'strategic health interests of the United States.'
