Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the three-prong test for a national interest waiver established in Matter of Dhanasar. While the petitioner's proposed endeavor in petroleum engineering was found to have substantial merit and national importance, the evidence was insufficient to demonstrate that the petitioner was well positioned to advance the endeavor.
