Decision Summary
The petitioner, a research scientist in the fields of heart failure and cancer, sought a national interest waiver. The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker. The decision also noted inconsistencies in the evidence, such as a witness claimed to be independent who had in fact co-authored a publication with the petitioner.
