dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Medicine
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker. The AAO found that the petitioner's specialized knowledge of a particular medical treatment was a function of his training, not proof of a significant national impact, particularly since the treatment was still in clinical trials and the petitioner had limited experience in the specialty.
Criteria Discussed
Substantial Intrinsic Merit National In Scope Serving National Interest To A Substantially Greater Degree Than A U.S. Worker
