Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, finding that the petitioner had not established that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The AAO sustained the appeal, first clarifying that the beneficiary qualifies for the underlying EB-2 classification as an alien of exceptional ability in business, and then finding that the petitioner did successfully establish that the waiver was in the national interest.
