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 liquid crystalline polymer design was found to be of substantial intrinsic merit and national in scope, they did not establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications.
