Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, although the AAO agreed the petitioner's work in pediatric endocrinology research had substantial intrinsic merit and was national in scope, the petitioner failed to establish the final prong of the national interest waiver test. The petitioner did not prove that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications, as they did not demonstrate a past history of achievement with significant influence on the field as a whole.
