Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish eligibility for a national interest waiver. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner did not demonstrate a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered in the nursing field to qualify for exceptional ability. The AAO also found the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence of five years of progressive post-graduate experience to qualify as an advanced degree professional.
