dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Chemical Engineering
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 work in pollution reduction had intrinsic merit and was national in scope, the petitioner did not sufficiently demonstrate a past history of achievement with influence on the field as a whole. The petitioner failed to prove they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
