dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Cardiology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the third prong of the national interest waiver test from Matter of New York State Dept. of Transportation. The AAO found that improving one hospital's ranking is a local, not national, interest and that the petitioner's desire to work for multiple employers is a personal preference, not a matter of national interest that would make the labor certification process inappropriate.
