dismissed EB-2 (NIW)
Human Resources Specialist
Human Resources · 2023-08-09
This case is from a USCIS Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) appeal decision. Appeal cases represent a subset of petitions and may not reflect typical outcomes.
Proposed Endeavor
The Petitioner, a human resources specialist, seeks to work in the United States within the field of human resources, specifically focusing on strategic management and organizational goals.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The motion was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional. The record contained discrepancies regarding her five years of post-baccalaureate experience, as letters from a business acquaintance described duties unrelated to human resources functions. Consequently, the AAO found no error in the prior decision that she did not meet the regulatory requirements for the underlying visa category.

The motion to reconsider was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish that the prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy. The Petitioner did not demonstrate five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience as required for an advanced degree professional. Discrepancies in employment history, particularly regarding a consultant role, were not resolved with independent, objective evidence. Furthermore, the Petitioner did not sufficiently explain the unavailability of primary or secondary employment evidence beyond affidavits, despite the company having other employees and upper management.
Frequently Asked Questions
A dismissed EB-2 NIW petition means USCIS found the evidence insufficient to meet the eligibility criteria.
