dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Geophysics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that an exemption from the job offer requirement would be in the national interest of the United States. Although the director acknowledged the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, the petitioner did not meet the three-prong test for a national interest waiver, particularly in demonstrating they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
