Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because while the petitioner's work was in an area of intrinsic merit and national in scope, he did not establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. The petitioner failed to demonstrate a past history of achievement with a degree of influence on the field as a whole, which is necessary to justify the waiver.
