Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner ultimately failed to demonstrate eligibility for a national interest waiver under the Dhanasar framework. The Director concluded the petitioner did not meet any of the three prongs of the framework. While the AAO noted an error in the Director's analysis of the first prong, it agreed with the overall conclusion that the petitioner was not eligible for the waiver.
