Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the requirements for a national interest waiver. While the director acknowledged the petitioner's work in physics research has intrinsic merit, the petitioner did not establish that the proposed benefit would be national in scope or that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The petitioner lacked sufficient evidence, such as expert testimony, and admitted they did not have a prospective employer in the U.S.
