Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The AAO found the evidence supporting the petitioner's influence to be weak, noting that the list of citations was not independently verified and that a significant number of the claimed citations were self-citations by the petitioner or his co-authors.
