dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Maternal Health
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. While the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, he did not demonstrate that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker. The AAO noted that the unsupported assertions of counsel do not constitute evidence and that the petitioner's past record did not justify projections of future benefit to the national interest required for the waiver.
