dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Medicine
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While the AAO agreed the petitioner's work in electrophysiology has substantial intrinsic merit and is national in scope, it found he had not established the necessary track record of past achievements to demonstrate he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker. The evidence of his accomplishments was deemed minimal, consisting of a single article with one citation, a conference presentation, and a letter from his supervisor.
