dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Transportation Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While the AAO agreed the petitioner's work in bridge engineering had substantial intrinsic merit and was national in scope, it found the petitioner did not establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. The petitioner's evidence of experience, licensure, and publications was deemed insufficient to demonstrate a past history of achievement with a significant influence on the field as a whole.
