Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because while the petitioner's work was found to be in an area of substantial intrinsic merit and national in scope, he failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. The petitioner did not establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker or that he had a past history of achievement with influence on the field as a whole.
