Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. While the field of aerial thermography was found to have intrinsic merit, the evidence provided, particularly letters of support, was outdated and did not demonstrate that the petitioner's future contributions would be of such a caliber to justify forgoing the labor certification process.
