sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Neuroscience
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the petitioner met the criteria for a national interest waiver, reversing the director's decision. The director had agreed the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree but denied the waiver. The AAO, after reviewing the evidence of the petitioner's research in neuroscience, concluded that the petitioner did establish that waiving the job offer requirement was in the national interest.
