Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a podiatrist, failed to demonstrate that the benefit of his work would be national in scope, as his impact would be limited to the local patients he treats. He also failed to establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker, as his claims of unique skills and the impact of his scholarly article were found to be based on anecdotal observation rather than scientific research.
