Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for a national interest waiver. The AAO affirmed the Director's finding that the record did not establish the proposed endeavor's national importance, that the petitioner was well-positioned to advance it, or that a waiver was in the national interest. Specifically, the AAO gave little weight to the petitioner's academic evaluations and found the record insufficient to prove she held the equivalent of a U.S. Doctor of Medicine degree or could be licensed to practice in the U.S.
