sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Molecular Biology
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner established that her research in molecular biology and microbiology met the criteria for a national interest waiver. The evidence, including strong witness letters detailing her significant contributions to projects on meiosis and multidrug resistance, and a record of her articles being cited by other researchers, demonstrated that her work had substantial merit, national scope, and that she would serve the national interest to a greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
