Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that he was well-positioned to advance his proposed endeavor at the time of filing, which is the second prong of the Dhanasar framework. New evidence submitted on appeal, consisting of letters of interest, was dated after the petition's filing date and could not be considered. Moreover, the letters were found to lack sufficient detail about proposed projects, responsibilities, or potential wages.
