dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Environmental Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The AAO noted that the petitioner's argument about the adverse effects of a labor certification was undermined by the fact that his employer had already successfully obtained one for him. The evidence submitted, such as employer awards, was deemed insufficient to prove he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
