dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Petroleum Engineering
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. The director had found the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, but denied the national interest waiver. The AAO affirmed this denial, centering its analysis on the petitioner's failure to meet the three-prong test established in Matter of New York State Dep't of Transportation (NYSDOT).
