Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed. Although the AAO withdrew the director's adverse finding regarding the petitioner's advanced degree equivalency, it ultimately found the petitioner did not establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The petitioner did not demonstrate that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker in the same field.
