Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker. The AAO found the claim of the beneficiary's work being 'widely cited' was unsupported, as most citations were from the beneficiary himself or his former mentor. Similarly, the letters of support were primarily from close associates and not from independent experts, thus lacking sufficient weight.
