Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. Although the petitioner's work was in an area of intrinsic merit and national in scope, she did not establish that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications, or that she had a past history of achievement with significant influence on the field as a whole.
