Our summary
A medical researcher and psychiatrist sought EB-2 classification with a national interest waiver of the job offer requirement. The petitioner did not respond to an AAO request for evidence on the Dhanasar framework. Alternatively, the AAO found the proposed endeavor lacked substantial national importance details and the petitioner was not well positioned to advance it. Appeal dismissed.
