Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined that the petitioner, contrary to the director's finding, met the second and third prongs of the Dhanasar framework. The petitioner's multiple advanced degrees, numerous cited publications, and letters of support established that she is well-positioned to advance her proposed research. The AAO also found that her work is of such value that, on balance, waiving the job offer and labor certification requirements would be beneficial to the United States.
