Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for a national interest waiver. The Director initially found the petitioner did not meet the second and third prongs of the Dhanasar framework. Upon review, the AAO further concluded that the record did not sufficiently support that the petitioner's specific endeavor had substantial merit and national importance, as the evidence was too general and did not address the prospective impact of his work.
