dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Foreign Affairs
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 of the United States. The director found that while the petitioner, an economic counselor, worked in an area of merit, she did not explain why her proposed work on poverty alleviation in Bolivia needed to be accomplished from within the United States, thus failing to demonstrate a sufficient prospective national benefit to the U.S.
Criteria Discussed
