Are you currently employed in the US, or do you have a job offer, or do you have a plan to develop a product? *

Generally describe your job duties in your occupation/profession *

Specifically explain what national interest will your work benefit, and how/to what extent. For example, a civil engineer may work on engineering safe bridges, or a biomedical engineer may work on developing medical devices to treat medical conditions. In your case, be as specific as possible. If you’re working on a specific project(s) or in a unique discipline, be sure to provide details. A national interest includes the U.S. economy, U.S. business competitiveness, U.S. health care, wage/working conditions of U.S. workers, education and training programs for U.S. children and under-qualified workers, cultural awareness of Americans, affordable housing for young and/or older, poorer U.S. residents, the environment of the U.S., productive use of U.S. natural resources, etc. *

Explain the prospective benefit from your personal, uniquely superior qualifications. In other words, explain your ability to serve the national interest to a substantially greater extent than the majority of others who work in your area of expertise. You should be able to demonstrate a past history achievement with some degree of influence on the field as a whole. *
