dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Systems 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 already conceded the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, but the AAO found the evidence submitted to support key claims of past achievement, such as receiving a "best Vice-Chancellor Award," was indirect, conflicting, and insufficient to justify projections of future benefit.
Criteria Discussed
