Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that his proposed endeavor has national importance, which is the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO concluded that while the petitioner's work as a software developer has substantial merit, the record did not show that its prospective impact would extend beyond his employer and its clients to affect his field or the nation more broadly.
Criteria Discussed
Substantial Merit And National Importance Well Positioned To Advance The Proposed Endeavor On Balance, It Would Be Beneficial To The United States To Waive The Job Offer And Labor Certification
