dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Law
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an attorney, failed to establish that the benefit of his work would be national in scope, a key requirement for the national interest waiver. The petitioner's claim of a national practice was unsupported by evidence, and the AAO found his impact would likely be limited to his local geographic area, which is insufficient for this visa category.
Criteria Discussed
Substantial Intrinsic Merit National In Scope Serving The National Interest To A Substantially Greater Degree Than A U.S. Worker
