Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the petitioner's work revitalizing Indigenous languages through a school she founded had both substantial merit and national importance, thereby meeting the first prong of the Dhanasar framework which the Director had initially denied. Citing extensive support from government and community leaders, the AAO determined her endeavor had broader implications for U.S. cultural enrichment and that she was well-positioned to advance the work, thus satisfying all requirements for a national interest waiver.
