Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While the AAO agreed the petitioner's field of HIV research had intrinsic merit and was national in scope, it found that the petitioner's past record did not demonstrate achievements influencing the field as a whole, particularly as most of his prior work was unrelated to HIV/AIDS research.
