Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate they were well-positioned to advance their proposed endeavor, which is the second prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO determined that the petitioner's experience was primarily as a teacher rather than a researcher and that their publication record of five works with only a single citation was insufficient to establish a record of success in the field.
Criteria Discussed
Substantial Merit And National Importance Well-Positioned To Advance The Proposed Endeavor On Balance, Waiving The Job Offer Requirement Would Benefit The United States
