Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker. Although the petitioner's work in medical research was found to have intrinsic merit and be national in scope, their record as of the filing date lacked objective evidence of significant influence, such as frequent citations, to warrant a waiver of the labor certification requirement.
