Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the second and third prongs of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO affirmed the Director's finding that the petitioner, a physics researcher with a master's degree, was not well-positioned to advance his proposed endeavor, and that a waiver of the job offer requirement was not, on balance, beneficial to the United States.
