dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Medicine
Decision Summary
The motion to reopen was granted, but the appeal remained dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility at the time of filing. Evidence of work performed after the filing date, such as a co-authored manuscript submitted for publication, could not retroactively prove that the proposed benefit was national in scope or that the petitioner's influence on the field existed when the petition was filed.
