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 reversed this decision, concluding that the petitioner's research into rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis did meet the criteria for a national interest waiver, and therefore sustained the appeal and approved the petition.
