dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Civil And Environmental Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. While the AAO agreed that the petitioner's work in sensor technology had substantial intrinsic merit and was national in scope, the petitioner did not sufficiently demonstrate that their past record justified projections of future benefit to meet this final critical prong of the national interest waiver test.
