sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Medicine
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner successfully demonstrated that his proposed endeavor in cancer research and treatment has substantial merit and national importance. The AAO found that the petitioner was well-positioned to advance this work based on his education, research, publications, and recruitment interest from leading institutions, thus satisfying the three prongs of the Dhanasar framework for a national interest waiver.
