Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, finding the petitioner had not established that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The AAO sustained the appeal, concluding that the petitioner's work in cancer research has substantial intrinsic merit and the proposed benefits are national in scope. Based on a review of the evidence, including new reference letters and an expanded citation record submitted on appeal, the AAO found the petitioner's past achievements justify the projection that he will benefit the national interest to a significantly greater extent than a U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications.
