Decision Summary
The director's decision to deny the petition was withdrawn. The AAO found that while the petitioner's work in cancer research had substantial intrinsic merit and was national in scope, the director erred by failing to give sufficient weight to the numerous letters from independent experts. The AAO determined this evidence was persuasive in establishing that the petitioner would benefit the national interest to a greater extent than a U.S. worker with minimum qualifications.
