dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Sports Coaching
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The AAO found that the petitioner's arguments about the beneficiary's role as a soccer coach were too general and did not demonstrate an impact of national scope, noting that improving a single university's team is not inherently in the national interest.
