dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Architecture
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed primarily because the petitioner failed to respond to a Request for Evidence (RFE), and was therefore considered to have abandoned the appeal. In the alternative, the AAO found the petitioner did not demonstrate that his proposed endeavor had national importance or that he was well-positioned to advance it, thus failing to meet the requirements for a national interest waiver under the Dhanasar framework.
