dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Architecture
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, while the AAO determined the petitioner did qualify as an advanced degree professional, he failed to meet the national interest waiver criteria. Specifically, the petitioner did not establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications, which is the final prong of the required test.
Criteria Discussed
Advanced Degree Professional Substantial Intrinsic Merit National In Scope Serving National Interest To A Substantially Greater Degree Than A U.S. Worker
