Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While the intrinsic merit of the petitioner's field was not in dispute, the petitioner did not establish that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker, as required. The evidence of past achievements, such as a single conference abstract described by counsel as a 'landmark contribution,' was deemed insufficient to justify projections of future benefit.
