dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Urban Forestry
Decision Summary
The AAO found that the petitioner did qualify for classification as an alien of exceptional ability in the sciences by meeting at least three of the regulatory criteria, thereby withdrawing the director's contrary finding. However, the appeal was ultimately dismissed, concurring with the director's determination that the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest of the United States.
