Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. Although the petitioner's work in weather radar systems was deemed to have substantial intrinsic merit and be national in scope, he did not establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker with minimum qualifications. The AAO agreed with the director that the petitioner had not demonstrated his current research had sufficiently influenced the field, pointing to a lack of independent citations and other evidence of impact.
