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 a qualified U.S. worker. The AAO determined the petition was filed prematurely, as most of the petitioner's articles were not yet published at the time of filing, and reference letters failed to provide persuasive examples of his influence on the field.
