Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver test, which requires showing he will serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. While the petitioner presented evidence of publications, presentations, and an award, the AAO found this was not sufficient to demonstrate a significant influence on the field as a whole. The decision noted a lack of evidence of independent citations or proof that his findings were widely implemented by others in the field.
