Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that a waiver of the job offer and labor certification requirement would be in the national interest of the United States. The AAO specifically refuted the petitioner's argument that the waiver should be granted because his employer was prohibited from pursuing labor certification, stating that the unavailability of a labor certification is not a valid basis for a national interest waiver.
