dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Social Work
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. While the petitioner's work as a grief and trauma specialist was acknowledged, the evidence, consisting primarily of witness letters, did not demonstrate that her work had a significant impact beyond the local level, thus failing to prove her contributions were national in scope or substantially greater than other qualified U.S. workers.
Criteria Discussed
Substantial Intrinsic Merit National In Scope Serving National Interest To A Substantially Greater Degree Than A U.S. Worker
