Decision Summary
The Director 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 sustained the appeal, concluding that the petitioner's work as a drilling engineer and well control instructor is of critical national importance, particularly in preventing oil spills. The petitioner's high standing, evidenced by his role as a worldwide trainer and member of an accreditation panel, demonstrated that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
