Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed. Although the AAO agreed that the petitioner's research in nutrition and vitamin A metabolism was in an area of substantial intrinsic merit and national in scope, it found that the petitioner failed to establish that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker. The evidence did not sufficiently demonstrate that her past achievements were so significant as to justify a waiver of the job offer and labor certification requirement.
