dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Metallurgy
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. Although the petitioner's work in ceramics and metallurgy was deemed to have intrinsic merit and be national in scope, he did not prove he would benefit the national interest to a greater extent than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The petitioner did not demonstrate a past history of achievement with a significant degree of influence on the field as a whole.
