Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because, upon de novo review, the AAO found that the petitioner met the three-prong test for a national interest waiver established in Matter of Dhanasar. The Director had initially denied the petition for failing to establish that a waiver would be in the national interest, but the AAO overturned this decision.
