dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Medical Oncology
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 AAO found that while the petitioner's work had merit, he did not demonstrate that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The petitioner's record consisted of two case-study publications and a fellowship, which was considered a training position, and he did not provide evidence of continued research after his training.
