sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Molecular Biology
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained and the petition approved. Although the AAO found that the petitioner's counsel had overstated her specific role in a recent discovery, it appears the petitioner's overall record and past achievements were deemed sufficient. For instance, the record showed she had devised a novel and superior method for measuring the rate at which molecules move within the cell nucleus during her time at the Carnegie Institution.
