dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Medicine
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient documentary evidence to support claims of widespread recognition and impact in their field. The AAO noted that assertions about being recognized by top experts, having research with a direct impact, and being cited numerous times were not substantiated by the record, which is insufficient to meet the burden of proof for a national interest waiver.
