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. Specifically, the petitioner did not demonstrate that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The AAO rejected the argument that the technical sophistication of the petitioner's research should inherently exempt them from the labor certification process.
