Decision Summary

The petitioner sought a national interest waiver. The director found that while the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, they did not establish that an exemption from the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The AAO agreed with the director's findings and dismissed the appeal.
