Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained, and the petition was approved. The director had initially 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 overturned this decision, implicitly finding that the petitioner's work as a research associate studying rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis did meet the criteria for a national interest waiver.
