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.
Criteria Discussed
Dhanasar Framework Advanced Degree Professional Exceptional Ability Criteria (Academic Record, 10 Years Experience, Professional License, High Salary, Recognition For Achievements)
