dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Physics
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 acknowledged the petitioner's qualification as a professional with an advanced degree, but found the evidence insufficient to grant the waiver. The AAO upheld this decision, indicating the petitioner did not demonstrate that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications.
