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. The AAO determined that she did not establish that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker, noting that her unique cultural background and skills were insufficient to meet the threshold and that avoiding the labor certification process is not the purpose of the waiver.
