Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the record did not demonstrate that the petitioner's work stood out in the field to a degree sufficient to warrant a national interest waiver. The director noted that all expert witnesses who work in the petitioner's field had a direct working relationship with her, suggesting a lack of broader, independent recognition of her work's impact.
