dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Mining Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While his work in mining engineering was found to be of substantial intrinsic merit and national scope, he did not demonstrate that he would serve the national interest to a greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker, as he failed to show the significant impact of his past work on the field.
