dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Traffic Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a traffic engineer for a city, failed to establish that the proposed benefit of his work would be national in scope. The AAO determined that the petitioner's work was primarily local, and arguments that his involvement in traffic management for major events like the Super Bowl had a national impact were unpersuasive, as the effects were temporary and did not broadly affect the nation.
Criteria Discussed
