Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the first prong of the Dhanasar framework for a National Interest Waiver. The AAO found that the petitioner did not sufficiently demonstrate that her proposed endeavor as a public bid procurement specialist had both substantial merit and national importance. Because this dispositive prong was not met, the AAO declined to review the other NIW prongs or the petitioner's qualification for the underlying EB-2 classification.
