Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, finding that while the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, she had not established that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The AAO dismissed the appeal, concurring that the petitioner failed to demonstrate that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker, a key requirement for the waiver.
