Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the national interest waiver. Although the AAO agreed she qualified for the underlying EB-2 classification, it found she did not demonstrate that her proposed endeavor in infection control training had 'national importance' as required by the Dhanasar framework, as the evidence was too general and did not prove a prospective national impact beyond her own clients.
