Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a postdoctoral research associate, failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest of the United States. While qualifying as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, the petitioner did not meet the three-prong test set forth in Matter of New York State Dept. of Transportation.
