sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Civil Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined that the petitioner, a civil engineer specializing in transportation safety, had established that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The director had initially denied the petition on this basis, but the AAO found the petitioner's past record of research in vehicle crashworthiness and battery safety justified projections of future benefit to the nation.
