Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because while the petitioner met the underlying EB-2 eligibility requirement as a professional holding an advanced degree, she did not establish that a waiver of the job offer and labor certification would be in the national interest. The petitioner failed to satisfy the three-prong test established in the precedent decision Matter of Dhanasar.
