dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Acupuncture
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. While the petitioner argued for the intrinsic merit of acupuncture, they did not demonstrate that their specific work would have a benefit that was national in scope or that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
Criteria Discussed
