Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the AAO determined the petitioner did not qualify for the underlying EB-2 classification, concluding that the proposed employment as a tutor is not a profession that requires an advanced degree. Moreover, the AAO concurred with the director that the petitioner failed to establish that waiving the job offer requirement would be in the national interest, as the benefits of their work as a tutor were deemed too localized and attenuated at a national level.
