Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. Although the petitioner's work was found to be in an area of substantial intrinsic merit and national in scope, they failed to demonstrate a past history of achievement with sufficient influence on the field as a whole to justify the waiver.
