Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that their proposed endeavor was of national importance. While the Director and AAO agreed the work had substantial merit and the petitioner was well-positioned, the evidence did not show the work would impact the agricultural industry more broadly at a national level. Consequently, the petitioner also failed to establish that, on balance, it would be beneficial to the U.S. to waive the job offer requirement.
