Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because while the petitioner's proposed endeavor in researching unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) was found to have substantial merit and national importance, he failed to establish that he was well-positioned to advance it. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner did not meet the second prong of the Dhanasar framework, which focuses on the individual's ability to advance their proposed work.
Criteria Discussed
