Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for a national interest waiver. Although the director found the petitioner's work in mechanical engineering to be of intrinsic merit and national in scope, the petitioner did not prove that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
