Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While the petitioner's work in material design and structural engineering was found to have intrinsic merit and be national in scope, he did not establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The petitioner did not demonstrate a past history of achievement with a significant degree of influence on the field as a whole.
