dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Finance
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 of the United States. The director had initially found the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, but determined the petitioner did not meet the three-prong test for a national interest waiver. The AAO affirmed this decision, finding the evidence insufficient to demonstrate the petitioner would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
