Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO found the petitioner did not qualify for the underlying EB-2 classification, as being a goldsmith is not a profession requiring a bachelor's degree. Although this was a different reason than the initial denial, the AAO also agreed with the Director's conclusion that the petitioner failed to demonstrate that waiving the job offer requirement would be in the national interest under the Dhanasar framework.
