Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for a national interest waiver under the Dhanasar framework. The Director and the AAO found the petitioner's professional plans to be vague, describing general duties of a financial manager rather than a specific endeavor with substantial merit and national importance. The petitioner did not establish that her work would have broader implications beyond the direct benefits to her future employers or clients.
