dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Atmospheric Chemistry
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. While the director acknowledged the petitioner's qualification as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, the petitioner did not prove that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker, which is the final and most critical prong of the national interest waiver test.
