dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Social Work / Advocacy
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. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner's past record did not sufficiently justify projections of future benefit, particularly noting a disconnect between her paid employment as a market research analyst and her proposed (volunteer-based) work as a domestic violence victim advocate.
