Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her proposed endeavor is of national importance, a key requirement for the national interest waiver. The Director initially denied the petition on this basis, and the AAO, upon de novo review, concurred with this finding, ultimately concluding the petitioner was not eligible for the waiver.
