Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because while the petitioner's work was found to be in an area of intrinsic merit and national in scope, the petitioner failed to establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. The petitioner did not demonstrate a past history of achievement with enough influence on the field as a whole to justify waiving the standard labor certification process.
