Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The AAO found the petitioner's record, consisting of a single minimally cited article in a different area of research, was insufficient to justify projections of future benefit. Furthermore, expert letters were not supported by objective evidence, and the petitioner did not explain why her current nonimmigrant visa was insufficient for her two-year project.
