dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Civil Engineering
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 petitioner's work in bridge engineering was acknowledged as having intrinsic merit and being national in scope, he did not demonstrate that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker, which is the third and crucial prong of the national interest waiver test.
