dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Nursing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The petitioner did not qualify as a member of the professions because the minimum educational requirement for a geriatric registered nurse is less than a bachelor's degree. Furthermore, while the petitioner met the minimum number of criteria for exceptional ability, the evidence did not establish a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered.
