dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Cardiology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The AAO found that the petitioner's research and teaching activities were functions of his temporary role as a fellow, and he failed to demonstrate that his future benefit to the U.S. would be substantially greater than that of a U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications.
