Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for a national interest waiver. While the intrinsic merit of the petitioner's field as a musical composer was not disputed, the petitioner did not demonstrate that the proposed benefit would be national in scope or that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker, as required by the NYSDOT framework.
