Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a martial arts instructor, failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. Although the director found the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, the petitioner did not prove their work met the three prongs for a national interest waiver. Specifically, the evidence did not demonstrate that the benefit of their work would be national in scope or that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
