dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Research
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 of the United States. The petitioner's counsel unsuccessfully argued that the binding precedent case, Matter of New York State Dept. of Transportation, was inapplicable. The AAO affirmed that this precedent and its three-pronged test is the controlling authority for national interest waiver petitions.
