Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO concluded that the petitioner did not sufficiently demonstrate the national importance of his proposed endeavor, which involved research into juvenile justice and recidivism. While his work had merit for a specific state agency, he did not provide evidence to corroborate his claims that his research would have a broader prospective impact on a national scale.
