Evidence
National Institutes of Health HHS appears to qualify as a governmental research organization whose primary mission is research, the fourth ground named in INA 214(g)(5)(B) and 8 CFR 214.2(h)(8)(iii)(F).
“Appears cap-exempt” is a research opinion based on these public sources; USCIS decides each petition, and the affiliated-nonprofit test in particular is fact-specific. Confirm with National Institutes of Health HHS’s HR or international office and an immigration attorney. Request a correction.
