While the petitioner was found to be a member of the professions holding an advanced degree and working in a field of intrinsic merit and national scope, they failed to establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker, as required by the third prong of the NYSDOT test.
