dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Semiconductor Design
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 AAO noted that the petitioner already held a nonimmigrant visa allowing him to complete his current project, so the waiver was not necessary for that purpose. The petitioner did not demonstrate that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
