dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Environmental Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The AAO found that while the petitioner's work was in an area of merit, his past record did not justify projections of future benefit to the nation. At the time of filing, his work in the United States had not yielded any published journal papers, and the evidence of citations to his work was not significant.
Criteria Discussed
