dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Surgery
Decision Summary

While the petitioner's work as a surgeon and physician scientist was found to be in an area of substantial intrinsic merit and national in scope, she did not establish that her past achievements had an influence on the field as a whole, or that she would benefit the national interest to a greater extent than a qualified U.S. worker.
Criteria Discussed
