Our summary
A security management specialist sought an EB-2 national interest waiver for a business endeavor. The service center denied the petition, finding no national importance. On appeal, the petitioner raised only general claims of legal error without addressing specific findings, and submitted a post-filing document. The AAO summarily dismissed for failing to identify erroneous conclusions.
