Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that their proposed endeavor had national importance under the Dhanasar framework. The AAO found that the plan to provide athletic training services through a startup company would primarily benefit the petitioner and his direct clients, and the record did not demonstrate broader implications or a substantial positive economic effect on the United States.
