Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the first prong of the Dhanasar framework for a National Interest Waiver. While the petitioner's proposed endeavor was found to have substantial merit, the AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner did not establish its national importance. Because the petitioner did not satisfy this dispositive requirement, the AAO declined to address the other NIW prongs or the petitioner's qualification for the underlying EB-2 classification.
