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. The AAO found that the petitioner's initial filing contained no documentary evidence to support the claims made by counsel, such as letters of support. Assertions by counsel are not evidence, and therefore the petitioner did not meet the burden of proof.
