dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: 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. While the director acknowledged the petitioner's qualifications and the intrinsic merit of engineering, the petitioner did not prove that the proposed benefit would be national in scope or that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker. The evidence, including recommendation letters and training certificates, demonstrated competence but did not set the petitioner apart from other engineers in his field.
