Our summary
A business manager sought NIW based on EB-2 exceptional ability or advanced degree. The appeal was dismissed as moot following a motion to reconsider. On merits, the petitioner failed to establish national importance; the vacation rental business endeavor would serve an existing tourism industry locally but lacked broader implications or substantial economic effects commensurate with national importance.
