Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. The AAO found that the submitted evidence, primarily recommendation letters from a narrow geographic area (Massachusetts), was insufficient to support the claim of a global reputation and widespread impact.
