Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate the necessary influence in her field, which is required for the third prong of the national interest waiver test. Although her work was found to be of intrinsic merit and national in scope, she did not provide sufficient evidence, such as independent citations or letters showing adoption of her work, to prove a history of demonstrable achievement with some degree of influence on the field as a whole.
