dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Business Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. While the director found the petitioner qualified for the underlying EB-2 classification, the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence of past achievements to justify projections of future benefit, as required by the national interest waiver standard. For instance, for a key project cited, the petitioner's name did not appear on the grant application and there was no evidence it was approved or successful.
