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 of the United States. Although the director acknowledged the petitioner's qualifications as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, the core issue was the failure to satisfy the three-prong test for a national interest waiver, specifically demonstrating that the alien will serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications.
