Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed. Although the AAO withdrew the director's finding and concluded the petitioner qualified as a professional with an advanced degree equivalent based on her progressive experience, she failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The petitioner, a middle school science teacher, did not demonstrate that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications.
