dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Aerospace Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the first prong of the Dhanasar framework for a national interest waiver. Although his proposed work in aerospace and defense projects was found to have substantial merit, he did not provide enough specific detail to demonstrate that it would have national importance. Similarly, his proposed teaching work lacked evidence of a broader impact beyond the institutions where he would teach.
