Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed primarily because the petitioner failed to establish his eligibility for the underlying classification as a professional holding an advanced degree. The AAO found that the petitioner did not submit the required evidence, such as official academic records or foreign degree evaluations, to prove possession of a qualifying degree. Although this was a sufficient reason for denial, the decision also noted that the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest.
