Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish eligibility for a National Interest Waiver under the Dhanasar framework. While the AAO agreed the petitioner's proposed insurance consulting endeavor had substantial merit, it concluded he failed to demonstrate that the endeavor was of national importance, lacking evidence of broader implications beyond serving his immediate clients.
