sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Biochemistry
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined that the petitioner's record of achievement, demonstrated through a moderate citation history and industry interest, was sufficient to warrant a national interest waiver. While the director had denied the petition, the AAO concluded that the petitioner's past accomplishments justified the projection that she would benefit the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
