Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a lawyer in private practice, failed to demonstrate that the benefits of his work would be national in scope. The AAO determined that his practice, including representing clients in federally regulated areas and serving the Korean-speaking community in Milwaukee, had a negligible impact at the national level. Furthermore, the petitioner did not establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker, as his unique skill of being a Korean-speaking attorney was viewed as a local labor shortage issue, not a basis for a national interest waiver.
