Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While the AAO agreed the petitioner's work in biomedical devices has substantial intrinsic merit and is national in scope, the petitioner did not establish that his past record demonstrated an influence on the field as a whole or that he would benefit the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a similarly qualified U.S. worker.
