Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a prospective national benefit. The petitioner's arguments for the national interest waiver were based on his past research in bioremediation, but his current and future work is in a different field. The AAO found no evidence that the petitioner intended to continue his bioremediation research, thus undermining the claim of future benefit in that area.
