Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. Although the director found the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, the AAO concluded that the petitioner failed to demonstrate a past history of achievement with a sufficient degree of influence on the field as a whole. The evidence did not prove that the petitioner would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker, which is a key requirement for the waiver.
