Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. He did not provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate that his proposed endeavor as a project manager in the construction industry had 'national importance,' failing to show that its benefits would result in substantial positive economic effects beyond a local scale.
