Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her proposed endeavor had national importance, which is the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. Although her work as an academic surgeon was found to have substantial merit, the AAO concluded that she did not sufficiently demonstrate the broader, national-level implications of her work required for a national interest waiver.
