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 of the United States. While the director agreed the beneficiary qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, the petitioner's claims regarding the beneficiary's high stature and national impact were deemed unsupported assertions of counsel, which do not constitute evidence.
