dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Aerospace Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the third prong of the national interest waiver test set forth in Matter of New York State Dep't of Transp. The AAO determined that while the work in military equipment maintenance has intrinsic merit, the benefits provided by a single soldier are too attenuated at a national level. The petitioner did not prove they would benefit the national interest to a greater extent than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
Criteria Discussed
Substantial Intrinsic Merit National In Scope Serving National Interest To A Substantially Greater Degree Than A U.S. Worker
