dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Ethnoeconomics And Journalism
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The AAO found that the petitioner did not demonstrate that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker, noting that the argument against the labor certification process was unpersuasive. The decision also highlighted a procedural error where the petitioner submitted the wrong form and failed to file the required Form ETA-750B.
