Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO withdrew the Director's findings on all three prongs of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's research on water treatment has substantial merit and national importance, he is well-positioned to advance it due to his Ph.D., publications, and high citation record, and it would be beneficial to the U.S. to waive the job offer requirement.
