|---|---|
Decision date as printed | May 24, 2005 |
Classification / field stated in source | EB-1A extraordinary ability in sciences; p. 2 specifies beneficiary is a nephrologist. |

AAO finds no specific error identified and summarily dismisses under 8 C.F.R. 103.3(a)(1)(v). |
Operative disposition | summary dismissal for failure to identify specific error |
Final-merits status | not reached |
