Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for a national interest waiver. Although the Director found the petitioner qualified as an advanced degree professional and the AAO acknowledged her work has substantial merit, she did not sufficiently demonstrate that her proposed endeavor meets all three prongs of the framework established in Matter of Dhanasar.
