sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Medicinal Chemistry

Decision Summary

The appeal was sustained because the petitioner, a researcher in medicinal and organic chemistry, successfully demonstrated that his work met the three prongs of the national interest waiver test. His research on developing new methods for drug discovery and manufacturing was deemed to be of substantial intrinsic merit and national in scope. The evidence, including his past achievements and letters from experts, established that his contributions would benefit the U.S. to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
