dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Medicine
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide a valid employment contract meeting regulatory requirements. While the AAO acknowledged the director erred on the timing of when the service period begins, it found the submitted contract itself was deficient and contradictory, and therefore did not meet the petitioner's evidentiary burden.
Criteria Discussed
National Interest Waiver For Physicians Work In A Designated Health Professional Shortage Area Submission Of A Valid Full-Time Employment Contract Timing Of The 5-Year Service Requirement Rules For Former J-1 Nonimmigrant Physicians
