Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for a national interest waiver. The Director concluded that the evidence did not establish the national importance of the proposed endeavor, that the petitioner was well-positioned to advance it, or that a waiver was in the national interest. The petitioner's work was found to primarily impact his employer, rather than the information technology field or the United States as a whole on a broader scale.
