Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish they were well-positioned to advance their proposed endeavor. Although the endeavor was found to have substantial merit and national importance, the evidence provided, including letters of support and publications, did not sufficiently demonstrate a record of success or significant impact in the field. The AAO found the letters to be scant and determined that the petitioner's citation record did not reflect a level of interest sufficient to meet the standard.
