dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Law
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. While the director and AAO acknowledged the petitioner's proposed work had intrinsic merit and was national in scope, the petitioner did not demonstrate that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications.
Criteria Discussed
