dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Pediatric Nephrology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. While the petitioner's work in pediatric nephrology was found to have substantial intrinsic merit, she did not prove that the proposed benefit would be national in scope, particularly regarding her clinical practice. The AAO found that the petitioner did not establish she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
