dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Psychiatry
Decision Summary
The initial petition was denied because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary's impact and influence on the field met the third prong of the national interest waiver test. The motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed because it primarily argued a shortage of psychiatrists, which the AAO confirmed is not sufficient grounds for granting a waiver under the NYSDOT framework.
