Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish her eligibility for a National Interest Waiver under the Dhanasar framework, not showing how her work had broader implications. The AAO also withdrew the director's finding that she qualified for the underlying EB-2 classification, concluding she provided insufficient evidence of having an advanced degree or meeting the criteria for exceptional ability.
