Decision Summary

The Director denied the petition, finding that the petitioner had not established that waiving the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. While the AAO found the petitioner's proposed endeavor to work as a legal analyst and consultant had substantial merit, the appeal was ultimately dismissed for failing to meet all the requirements for a national interest waiver under the Dhanasar framework.
