Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver test. Although her work in anesthesiology was found to have substantial intrinsic merit and her research was national in scope, she did not establish that she would benefit the national interest to a greater extent than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications, as she did not sufficiently document the influence of her work on the field as a whole.
