Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the Director erred in concluding the petitioner was not well-positioned to advance his endeavor. The AAO determined that the petitioner's education, skills, successful research record, funding, and support from other researchers established that he was well-positioned. Consequently, considering the urgent need for his work in developing disease-resistant crops, the AAO found it would be beneficial to the U.S. to waive the job offer requirement.
