Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the proposed benefit of her work would be national in scope. The director had found the petitioner eligible for the underlying classification but denied the national interest waiver, a finding the AAO upheld. The petitioner's appeal focused on the national scope prong, but failed to overcome the director's finding.
