Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's past record justified projections of future benefit to the national interest. The evidence, primarily letters from colleagues at her own institution, spoke of her future potential but did not demonstrate a significant past impact on her field that would set her apart from other qualified U.S. workers.
