Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the merits of his national interest waiver claim. The AAO found that there was no evidence the petitioner had held a nanotechnology research position since his 2004 graduation. Instead, evidence showed he was pursuing business studies at a community college, undermining his claim of continuing work in a field of national interest.
