Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While her work was found to have substantial intrinsic merit and be national in scope, she did not establish that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker, as she failed to demonstrate that her research had a significant influence on the field as a whole.
