Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the second and third prongs of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO found that the record did not establish that the petitioner was well-positioned to advance his research endeavor. A subsequent motion to reopen and reconsider was denied for failing to demonstrate an error of law or policy in the prior decision.
