Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver analysis. Although the petitioner's work as a neurologist was found to have substantial merit and be national in scope, she did not establish that her contributions would benefit the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. The decision noted a lack of evidence showing that her published work had garnered significant independent citations or otherwise influenced the field as a whole.
