Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. The petitioner did not establish a past record of achievement that would justify projections of future benefit, as she had not published any articles in her field as of the filing date. The AAO concluded the petition was filed prematurely, before the petitioner's work had an opportunity to influence the field.
