Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO found that the petitioner's proposed endeavor was not sufficiently specific and that she failed to demonstrate its national importance, relying instead on the general importance of the accounting field rather than the prospective impact of her individual work.
