What are the chances of USCIS approving an NIW application for a foreign lawyer with substantial work experience?
EB2, eligibility can be established by advanced degree or exceptional ability. And, the Matter of Dhanasar provides that after eligibility for EB-2 classification has been established, USCIS may grant a NIW if the petitioner demonstrates, by a preponderance of the evidence, that:
- the foreign national’s proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance;
- the foreign national is well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor; and
- on balance, it would be beneficial to the United States to waive the requirements of a job offer and thus of a labor certification
So I wonder, for a foreign legal consultant, how would one prove substantial merit and national importance?
