dismissed EB-2 (NIW)
Nurse Technician, Aesthetic Specialist, And Wellness Spa Entrepreneur
Wellness Spa, Aesthetics, And Nursing Technician · Brazil · 2024-06-28
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 proposes to operate as a nurse technician, aesthetic specialist, and wellness spa entrepreneur. Her work focuses on providing aesthetic treatments, wellness services, and weight loss methods through her business operations.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner met only two criteria for exceptional ability: academic records and licensure. She failed to provide evidence of ten years of full-time experience, professional membership in an organization requiring a baccalaureate degree, or recognition for significant contributions to the industry. Because the underlying EB-2 status was not established, the national interest waiver was not considered.
