Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The director noted, and the AAO agreed, that as of the filing date, the petitioner had not yet published his work and the record lacked evidence of his influence on the field, such as citations. The petition was deemed prematurely filed, before the scientific community's reaction to the petitioner's work could be gauged.
