dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Autism Education Research
Decision Summary
The motion to reopen and reconsider was denied because the petitioner failed to meet the second and third prongs of the Dhanasar framework. While her research on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) education was found to have merit and importance, she did not sufficiently demonstrate that she was well-positioned to advance the endeavor. The evidence provided, such as publications and presentations, largely post-dated the original petition filing and did not show significant influence or progress in the field.
