Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the petitioner established his eligibility as an individual of exceptional ability and that his work is in an area of substantial intrinsic merit, he failed to meet the other requirements for a national interest waiver. The petitioner did not demonstrate that the proposed benefit of his work would be national in scope, as his business activities were localized. Furthermore, he did not establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
