dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Food Technology
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 her plan to patent and develop centuries-old recipes was speculative and she did not demonstrate that her work would have a national scope or impact. The petitioner's past record did not justify projections that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
