dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Transportation Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The petitioner's evidence, consisting of two conference papers from his time as a graduate student, was insufficient to prove a track record of significant influence in his field. The AAO emphasized that the unsupported assertions of counsel do not constitute evidence.
