Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for a national interest waiver. Although the petitioner's proposed endeavor to develop new methods for the shale gas industry was found to have substantial merit and national importance, the petitioner did not sufficiently demonstrate that she was well positioned to advance the endeavor or that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be beneficial to the U.S. on balance.
