Decision Summary
The initial approval was revoked and the appeal was dismissed because the petitioner changed his employment to a field unrelated to the one for which the national interest waiver was granted. The petition was based on the petitioner's work in physical chemistry, but he subsequently took a job as a payroll analyst. This change constituted "good and sufficient cause" for revocation as he was no longer working in the field deemed to be in the national interest.
