Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the National Interest Waiver test. While the petitioner's work in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy was found to have intrinsic merit and be national in scope, the evidence did not establish that the petitioner would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker. The AAO found the submitted reference letters were not sufficient to demonstrate the petitioner's significant impact or influence in the field.
