Decision Summary

The Director revoked the initial approval after concluding the petition was approved in error. While the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, he failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer and labor certification would be in the national interest under the three-prong framework from Matter of Dhanasar. The AAO dismissed the appeal, concurring with the Director's decision.
