Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The director found that while the petitioner qualifies as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, the evidence did not prove her work would benefit the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. The AAO found the petitioner's past record did not sufficiently justify projections of future benefit to the national interest.
