dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility as an alien of exceptional ability. The AAO determined that the petitioner did not meet the criterion requiring an academic degree, as he had not graduated, and rejected the argument that his coursework qualified as "comparable evidence" because the degree requirement is a standard that readily applies to the engineering field.
