Peter Rees Creates NIW Appeals Website

NIW Appeals

"Welcome to NIWAppeals.com.  Here you will find an overview of non-precedent decisions published by the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) in which they apply the Matter of Dhanasar framework to National Interest Waiver (NIW) appeals. 

  • Under decisions you will find summaries of the decisions published by the AAO. Decisions can be sorted by occupation, as well as adjudication (sustained/all).  There is also a keyword search.  Click on the matter ID to access the decision.
  • Under evidence you will find decisions in which the AAO decisions says something interesting about a particular type of evidence. There are four different categories: citations, expert letters, economic impact, and “other”.
  • Under analysis you will find articles describing adjudication trends that have emerged for different occupations, types of evidence, and prongs of the Dhanasar framework.
  • Under links you can find links to relevant material on national interest waivers.
New decisions will be added within a few days of their publication online and new analysis articles will be added periodically.  If you would like to receive occasional emails regarding notable decisions, and the identification of adjudication trends, please send an email to pete@reesimmigration.com - a more formal newsletter will be created in due course."
