1 Proposed endeavor has substantial merit and national importance Not Met

The petitioner established the substantial merit of her proposed endeavor but failed to establish its national importance, as it did not demonstrate broader implications or substantial positive economic effects at a national level.

2 Petitioner is well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor Not Met

This prong was not analyzed as the first prong regarding national importance was not met. The petitioner's achievements were deemed relevant to this prong but were not weighed in the decision assessing national importance.

3 On balance, it would be beneficial to the United States to waive the job offer and labor certification requirements Not Met

This prong was not analyzed as the first prong regarding national importance was not met.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The decision to dismiss the motions was based on the petitioner's failure to establish the national importance of her proposed endeavor under the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. USCIS found that the additional evidence submitted did not present new facts or arguments that would demonstrate broader implications or substantial positive economic effects at a national level. The petitioner's achievements were deemed relevant to the second prong, which was not analyzed due to the failure on the first prong. The petitioner also failed to demonstrate any error of law or policy in the prior decision.
