Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to contest the Director's finding regarding their intent to continue working in their area of expertise in the United States. This uncontested ground for denial was deemed waived by the petitioner and was dispositive of the appeal, meaning the AAO did not need to address the other arguments raised.
