dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Civil Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest of the United States. Although the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, they failed to demonstrate that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications, as required by the precedent set in *Matter of New York State Dept. of Transportation*.
