Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While his proposed work in intelligence analysis was deemed to have intrinsic merit and be national in scope, he did not provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate a past history of achievement or that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker. He failed to submit supporting letters from government agencies he claimed were interested in his work, such as the FBI or Department of Defense.
