dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Geology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because while the petitioner qualified for the underlying EB-2 classification as an alien of exceptional ability, they failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The petitioner did not demonstrate that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker, which is the standard set by the controlling precedent, NYSDOT.
Criteria Discussed
