dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Materials Science
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. Although the director found the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, the AAO concurred that the petitioner did not meet the high standard for the waiver, specifically failing to prove he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications.
