dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Visual Arts
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While her field of visual arts was found to have intrinsic merit and national scope, she did not establish that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The evidence, including numerous template-like letters from associates, was deemed insufficient to demonstrate a past record of influence justifying a waiver.
