Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition based on the second and third prongs of the Dhanasar framework. Upon review, the AAO found the petitioner did satisfy these prongs, determining he was well-positioned to advance his endeavor due to his advanced degrees, cited articles, grants, and strong reference letters. The AAO concluded that based on his track record and the significance of his research, it would be beneficial to the U.S. to waive the labor certification requirement.
