Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the second prong of the Dhanasar framework. While her proposed endeavor was found to have substantial merit and national importance, she did not provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate she was well-positioned to advance it. The letters of recommendation offered general praise for her work but lacked specific, objective evidence of her contributions or impact on the broader field of architecture.
