dismissed EB-2 Case: Nursing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary, a nurse, possesses 'a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered,' the regulatory standard for exceptional ability. The director found the evidence insufficient and the labor certification improper. The AAO conducted a de novo review and upheld the director's conclusion, finding the petitioner had not demonstrated the beneficiary's eligibility for the classification sought.
