dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Civil Engineering
Decision Summary
The AAO affirmed the director's decision to deny the petition, concluding the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The decision noted that the petitioner's past record, including publications that were mostly student writings or unpublished manuscripts, was insufficient to justify projections of future benefit. The petitioner did not demonstrate that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications.
