Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a physician seeking a national interest waiver, failed to establish a valid employment arrangement as required. He claimed to be an employee of a company but was later found to be its sole owner, invalidating the employer-employee relationship. The Director also found that the petitioner willfully misrepresented his employment situation by submitting a contract signed by an unauthorized person.
