sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Biostatistics
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner, a biostatistician, demonstrated that her proposed work on HIV/AIDS clinical trials has substantial merit and national importance. The AAO found she was well-positioned to advance the endeavor based on her critical role in nationally-funded studies and strong support from experts in her field, satisfying the three-prong test established in Matter of Dhanasar.
