dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Civil 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 a qualified U.S. worker. While the AAO agreed the petitioner's work had intrinsic merit and was national in scope, the evidence did not demonstrate a past history of achievement with significant influence on the field as a whole, as required by the third prong of the national interest waiver test.
