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 U.S. worker. The AAO determined that the petitioner's past record of achievement, consisting of a single minimally cited published article and two poster presentations at the time of filing, was insufficient to demonstrate the required degree of influence on the field as a whole.
