Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The AAO determined that the witness letters, primarily from direct supervisors and collaborators, were insufficient to demonstrate that the petitioner's work had garnered influence or attention beyond his immediate professional circle.
