Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver analysis. Although the petitioner's work was found to be of substantial intrinsic merit and national in scope, he did not establish a past record of achievement demonstrating sufficient influence on his field to prove he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
