dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Journalism
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While the director acknowledged the intrinsic merit and national scope of her work as a journalist for Voice of America, the petitioner did not establish that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with minimum qualifications. The evidence did not sufficiently distinguish her from other journalists, and her degrees were in unrelated fields.
