dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Cardiology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While the petitioner's work was found to be in an area of substantial intrinsic merit and national in scope, he did not establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence, such as significant independent citations or corroborating documents, to demonstrate the actual impact and influence of his research on the field as a whole.
