Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the Dhanasar framework for a National Interest Waiver. Although qualifying as an advanced degree professional, he did not provide a sufficiently concrete plan for his future work in the U.S. His plan was too general and did not identify specific projects, employers, or clients, thus failing to demonstrate he was well-positioned to advance his proposed endeavor.
