Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition after concluding that the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for a national interest waiver under any of the three prongs of the analytical framework from Matter of Dhanasar. While the petitioner's proposed work as an entrepreneur was found to have substantial merit, he did not sufficiently demonstrate its national importance or satisfy the other two prongs. The AAO dismissed the appeal upon de novo review.
