Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The director had already found the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, but the AAO determined the petitioner did not prove their past record justified projections of future benefit to a degree substantially greater than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The decision noted weaknesses in the evidence, such as relying on a self-authored CV to prove recognition as a leading expert.
