Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor has national importance, which is the first prong of the Dhanasar framework for National Interest Waivers. While the endeavor of working as an intensive care physician has substantial merit, the AAO determined that the petitioner did not demonstrate how his work as an individual physician would have broader national implications beyond the local hospital, and noted that labor shortages are typically addressed by the labor certification process.
