Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the evidence, particularly the letters of recommendation, was found to be unpersuasive. The AAO noted that the witness letters were based on templates provided by counsel, complete with instructions and misspellings, which undermined their credibility and weight as independent expert evaluations. This failure of evidence meant the petitioner did not establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker.
