sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Biomedical Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided substantial evidence, including letters from highly respected experts, demonstrating the national importance of their research in biomedical science (proteomics and mass spectrometry). The AAO was persuaded that the petitioner's unique skills and contributions to research on acute lung injury were so significant that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker, thus warranting a waiver.
