dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Journalism
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker, as required for the waiver. The AAO determined that her past temporary work as a journalist did not demonstrate a record of influence justifying the waiver, and that avoiding the labor certification process was not a sufficient basis for approval.
Criteria Discussed
Substantial Intrinsic Merit National In Scope Serving National Interest To A Substantially Greater Degree Than U.S. Worker
