Framework Evaluation
0 of 3 criteria met1 Substantial Merit and National Importance Not Met

Why This Petition Was Denied
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner submitted invalid signatures (electronic images rather than original handwritten marks) on the Form I-290B and G-28. Additionally, on the merits, she failed to satisfy the first Dhanasar prong as her role as a flight attendant lacked national importance and substantial merit.
