Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. While the petitioner's work in Computational Fluid Dynamics was found to have intrinsic merit and be national in scope, their doctoral and post-doctoral work was deemed not significantly influential, as evidenced by a low number of independent citations. The petitioner's most recent work was unpublished at the time of filing and considered too recent to evaluate its potential impact.
