Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the Director erred in concluding the Petitioner was not well-positioned to advance her proposed endeavor. The AAO determined that the Petitioner's advanced degree, skills, record of success including highly-cited publications, and expert letters demonstrated she was well-positioned to advance her research in environmental remediation and food safety. The AAO concluded the petitioner met all three prongs of the Dhanasar framework, warranting a waiver.
