Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish her eligibility for a national interest waiver under the applicable NYSDOT framework. The AAO found that the evidence did not demonstrate that the petitioner's work as an international legal consultant was national in scope or had resulted in demonstrable achievements with influence on the field as a whole, beyond her direct employers and clients.
