Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, finding that the petitioner had not established that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The AAO sustained the appeal because new evidence submitted on appeal, relating to the petitioner's accomplishments prior to the petition's filing, was sufficient to overcome the director's initial concerns and demonstrate the petitioner's eligibility.
