sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Pathology And Cellular Biology
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because upon de novo review, the AAO found that the Petitioner established eligibility for a national interest waiver under the Dhanasar framework. The Director had initially denied the petition, finding that the petitioner had not proven a waiver of the job offer was in the national interest. The AAO determined that the petitioner's proposed research on hematological malignancies has both substantial merit and national importance, thereby meeting the criteria for the waiver.
