Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. Although the AAO agreed the petitioner's work in waste reclamation engineering is of intrinsic merit and 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 the same minimum qualifications, or demonstrate a past history of achievement with significant influence on the field.
