The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that her proposed endeavor, establishing an accounting consulting firm, had national importance as required by the Dhanasar framework. The AAO concluded that while her services might be valuable to her clients, the evidence did not show that the firm's prospective impact would rise to a national level, extending beyond her immediate clientele to affect the broader financial services industry or U.S. economic initiatives.
