Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish eligibility for a National Interest Waiver. The Director initially denied the petition, finding the petitioner had not shown he was well-positioned to advance his endeavor or that, on balance, a waiver would benefit the U.S. The AAO, upon de novo review, affirmed the denial, concluding the petitioner had not proven the national importance of his proposed endeavor by a preponderance of the evidence.
