dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Computer Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. While the intrinsic merit of her work in elder care was acknowledged, it was not clear that her contributions were national in scope, as she worked for a state agency. The petitioner failed to demonstrate that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker, as required for the waiver.
