dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Cardiology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker. The director found that the petitioner's training in advanced procedures did not inherently meet the national interest threshold and that claims of his reputation, such as for peer review, were not sufficiently substantiated by independent evidence. Furthermore, the petitioner had not completed the relevant training at the time of filing, making future contributions speculative.
