dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Transportation
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed employment as a Port Captain is a 'profession' as defined by regulation, specifically that it requires a minimum of a U.S. baccalaureate degree for entry. The director also found the petitioner had not established that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's counsel did not overcome these bases for denial.
