dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Computer Security
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver test from Matter of New York State Dept. of Transportation. While the director accepted that the petitioner's work in computer security had substantial intrinsic merit and was national in scope, the petitioner did not establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker. The evidence, consisting of recommendation letters and work samples, only demonstrated successful completion of specific projects without showing the petitioner's high standing or significant influence in the field.
