Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not sufficiently establish eligibility for a national interest waiver under the Dhanasar framework. The petitioner's proposed endeavor, which involved clinical practice, research, and administrative tasks, was not clearly defined, and he failed to demonstrate how his work would have a broad prospective impact on a national scale rather than just benefiting his immediate employer.
