Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate they were well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor. The AAO found the petitioner's plan was unreliable and inconsistent, shifting from collaborating with existing non-profits to establishing a new one. This lack of a clear, consistent endeavor made it impossible for the petitioner to meet the second prong of the Dhanasar framework.
