HI
I got this email that my NIW petition was approved earlier. HOwever, the final approval notice arrived later indicating that they have approved me as NIW physician, which comes with a clause of serving in underserved area for 3-5 area before my 485 is approved. Now my petition/my skill does not indicate that I applied on these grounds. I am a physician but the background was research and scholarly activity which obviously cannot be conducted in underserved area. the petition was duly backed up by expert letters, publication list etc. We have asked for clarification from INS. it was nowhere argued that I would work in underserved area.
Any ideas or similar experience in past from anybody would be helpful
thanks
