Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While their work in cancer research was found to be of substantial intrinsic merit and national in scope, they did not establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker or demonstrate a sufficient past history of achievement influencing the field.
