dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Social Work
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. While the petitioner's work as a grief and trauma specialist was praised, the evidence, consisting entirely of witness letters from colleagues, did not show that her work had a significant impact beyond the local level.
