Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained, and the petition was approved. The AAO overturned the director's initial decision, which had found that the petitioner did not establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The AAO concluded that the petitioner, a research associate in physics, did meet the criteria for a national interest waiver.
