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 submitted witness letters and publications, the letters were primarily from collaborators rather than independent experts, and the petitioner did not adequately demonstrate the impact of their publications on the field as a whole.
