dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Medicine
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The director found that while the petitioner, a physician, qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, he did not demonstrate that his work would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker. The petitioner's claims of having a leading role and creating a 'ripple effect' through routine teaching duties were unsubstantiated by the evidence.
