Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While the petitioner's work as a surgeon was found to be in an area of intrinsic merit and national in scope, he did not establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications, nor did he demonstrate a past history of achievement with significant influence on the field as a whole.
