Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While his work as a physician was found to have substantial intrinsic merit and be national in scope, he did not establish that he would benefit the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The evidence, including publications and reference letters, did not demonstrate a past history of achievement with a significant influence on the field as a whole.
