Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. Specifically, the petitioner did not establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. The AAO found that the petitioner's past record did not justify projections of future benefit to the national interest, as his efforts had not proven effective or attracted significant attention beyond his immediate collaborators.
