EB-2 NIW
dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Government Services
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner filed for an EB-2 National Interest Waiver but provided arguments and evidence for an entirely different classification, EB-4 Special Immigrant. The AAO noted that the petitioner fundamentally confused the two categories and sought a benefit that falls under the jurisdiction of the Department of State, not USCIS. Consequently, the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the EB-2 NIW classification that was actually filed.
