Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the petitioner met the three-prong test for a national interest waiver under Matter of Dhanasar. The Director initially denied the petition for failing to establish the national interest, but on appeal, the petitioner demonstrated that his proposed research in psychological science, virtual reality, and learning has both substantial merit and national importance. The AAO also determined he was well-positioned to advance the endeavor, thus overturning the initial denial.
