Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to contest the Director's determination that he had not established eligibility for a national interest waiver under the Dhanasar framework. Since the petitioner only addressed his eligibility as an individual of exceptional ability on appeal, he was deemed to have waived the dispositive grounds for denial, leading to the dismissal.
