Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed benefit of his work would be national in scope. The AAO determined that the petitioner's primary role was that of a clinical physician with a local impact, and the research activities cited were part of his training, with insufficient evidence of ongoing research that would have a broader national benefit.
