Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While the director agreed the petitioner's work in electronic engineering is of intrinsic merit and national in scope, the petitioner did not establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker with the same qualifications.
