sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Medical Imaging
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the petitioner, a postdoctoral fellow in medical imaging, had established that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The petitioner demonstrated significant past achievements, including the development of a novel computer algorithm for measuring syndesmophytes, which was recognized by the U.S. government as an invention available for licensing, justifying projections of future benefit to the nation.
