Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker. The AAO found that counsel and reference letters exaggerated the significance of the petitioner's past work, mischaracterizing a brief mention in a trade publication as a major 'highlight' with 'great impact.' The evidence of past achievements was deemed insufficient to justify projections of future benefit to the national interest.
