Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor in civil engineering has national importance. Although the AAO found the petitioner qualified for the underlying EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional, it agreed with the Director that the petitioner did not show his work would impact the industry more broadly or offer substantial positive economic effects, thus failing a key prong of the national interest waiver framework.
