dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Theology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest of the United States. While the director did not dispute that the petitioner qualifies as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, the petitioner failed to demonstrate that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker, as required by the national interest waiver framework.
