sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Biological Science
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, finding the petitioner had not established that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The AAO reviewed the evidence, which included patents, numerous cited scholarly articles, and strong witness letters regarding the petitioner's work on vaccines for cancer and infectious diseases, and found it sufficient to meet the national interest waiver standard. Consequently, the AAO withdrew the director's denial and approved the petition.
