Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While the petitioner's work in cancer research was acknowledged as having substantial intrinsic merit and being national in scope, the evidence submitted did not establish that the petitioner would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications.
