Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest of the United States. While the director found that the petitioner qualified for classification as a member of the professions with the equivalent of an advanced degree, the petitioner failed to meet the three-prong test for a national interest waiver as set forth in the precedent decision Matter of New York State Dep't of Transportation (NYSDOT).
