remanded EB-2 NIW Case: Newspaper Publishing
Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the director's decision was flawed. The director incorrectly concluded that a National Interest Waiver requires an advanced degree and failed to consider the petitioner's eligibility under the alternative standard of 'exceptional ability,' which the case is now sent back to evaluate.
Criteria Discussed
Advanced Degree Exceptional Ability National Interest Waiver (Substantial Intrinsic Merit) National Interest Waiver (National In Scope) National Interest Waiver (Serving National Interest To A Greater Degree)
