Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner ultimately failed to establish eligibility for a national interest waiver under the three-prong framework from Matter of Dhanasar. While the AAO found the petitioner's proposed work in HIV prevention had substantial merit and national importance, the final decision to dismiss indicates she did not sufficiently demonstrate that she was well-positioned to advance the endeavor or that, on balance, a waiver of the job offer requirement would be beneficial to the United States.
