Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The AAO found that while her proposed work had intrinsic merit, her plans were speculative and not supported by a record of past achievements that would justify projections of future benefit. The petitioner's subjective assurances about her future contributions were deemed insufficient to meet the high standard required for the waiver.
