Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that waiving the job offer and labor certification requirement would be in the national interest. The petitioner did not establish that her work as a graphic artist and co-illustrator for a series of children's soccer books had a significant national impact or that her contributions were substantially greater than those of a qualified U.S. worker.
