dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Gastroenterology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence focused more on routine clinical practice than on significant research achievements. The submitted witness letters were deemed routine and did not establish that the petitioner's findings were especially significant or that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
