dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Business
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for a national interest waiver. While her work was found to have intrinsic merit and be national in scope, she did not prove that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The AAO noted that training in an important method is not the same as innovating it, and the petitioner failed to substantiate claims of widespread media coverage about her work.
