dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Medicine
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver test. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner's work had received very few independent citations and there was insufficient evidence to demonstrate her work was influential or widely applied in the medical field. The petitioner failed to establish that her past achievements justified waiving the labor certification requirement.
