Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish they are well-positioned to advance their proposed endeavor. Although the endeavor itself was found to have substantial merit and national importance, the Director and the AAO concluded that the petitioner's publication record and activities did not demonstrate a sufficient record of success in the field.
