Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition based on the second prong of the Dhanasar framework, finding the Petitioner was not well-positioned to advance their proposed endeavor. The AAO sustained the appeal, concluding that the Petitioner's education, publication and citation record, strong recommendation letters, and research supported by a National Science Foundation grant collectively established that they were well-positioned to advance their work.
