Decision Summary
The director denied the petition by misapplying a regulation (8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(4)(i)) relevant to petitions with a job offer, which does not apply to national interest waiver cases. The AAO withdrew this erroneous decision but remanded the case because the petitioner has not yet established that her intended occupation qualifies as a 'profession' by demonstrating that a bachelor's degree is a minimum requirement for entry.
