Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that his proposed endeavor met the 'national importance' prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO found that while the aquaculture industry is important, the evidence did not show how the petitioner's specific consulting work would have a broad impact on the field at a national level, beyond his immediate clients and employees.
