Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove she was well-positioned to advance her proposed endeavor, the second prong of the Dhanasar framework. The record lacked evidence that she met the educational and licensing requirements to work as a clinical psychologist in Florida, which was essential for her proposed business. The petitioner did not address this deficiency in her response to a Request for Evidence or on appeal.
