Decision Summary
The AAO affirmed its prior dismissal of the appeal upon a motion to reopen. The decision maintains that the petitioner, a physician, did not establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The petitioner failed to meet the three-prong test from Matter of NYSDOT, particularly in demonstrating that his work was national in scope and would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
