dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Psychiatry
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 submitted evidence of publications and educational activities, the AAO found the impact, such as a low number of citations, insufficient to demonstrate a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered. The petitioner's evidence did not justify a projection of future benefit to the national interest to a degree that would warrant waiving the labor certification process.
