dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Semiconductor Manufacturing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO determined that the petitioner had not sufficiently demonstrated the 'national importance' of the beneficiary's proposed endeavor as a process engineer, as the work was viewed as primarily benefiting the specific employer rather than the broader national interest.
