dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Agriculture
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility as an alien of exceptional ability, meeting only one of the required three criteria. The AAO found the evidence for membership in professional associations was insufficient and withdrew the director's finding that the petitioner had recognition for achievements. As the petitioner did not meet the threshold eligibility, the national interest waiver claim was deemed moot.
Criteria Discussed
Degree Or Similar Award Ten Years Of Full-Time Experience License Or Certification Salary Or Other Remuneration Membership In Professional Associations Recognition For Achievements And Significant Contributions National Interest Waiver Criteria (Substantial Merit, National Scope, Greater Degree Than U.S. Worker)
