sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Cancer Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the petitioner, a researcher in molecular biology and cancer, had established that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The director initially denied the petition on this point, but the AAO concluded that the petitioner's past record, including significant contributions to understanding lymphoma, justified projections of future benefit to the United States.
