dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Civil And Environmental Engineering
Decision Summary
The motion was granted to reconsider, but the appeal was ultimately dismissed. While the petitioner's work in civil and environmental engineering was found to be of intrinsic merit and national in scope, they failed to establish the final prong of the national interest waiver test. The petitioner did not demonstrate a past history of achievement with a degree of influence on the field as a whole sufficient to prove they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
