Our summary

A self-petitioner sought a national interest waiver of the job offer requirement. The service center found he qualified for the underlying classification but denied the waiver. On appeal, the AAO dismissed because the signatures on the appeal form and the representation form appeared electronically copied and not valid original handwritten signatures. The merits were not reached.
