Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed primarily because the petitioner failed to respond to a Request for Evidence (RFE), leading the AAO to consider the appeal abandoned. Alternatively, the AAO found that the petitioner did not successfully demonstrate qualification as an individual of exceptional ability or meet the three-part eligibility requirements for a national interest waiver under the Matter of Dhanasar framework.
