Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner, an environmental engineer, successfully demonstrated that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. While the director agreed the petitioner's work had intrinsic merit and was national in scope, the AAO found on appeal that the petitioner's past record of achievement, including developing innovative water quality modeling technologies for major government projects, justified the projection that he would benefit the national interest to a greater extent than a U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications.
