Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that an exemption from the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The director found that while the petitioner qualifies as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, the evidence submitted did not demonstrate that the petitioner would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications, as required for a national interest waiver.
