dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Hydrogeology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, while qualifying as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The petitioner did not satisfy the three-prong test from Matter of New York State Dept. of Transportation, which requires showing the alien will serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications.
