Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her endeavor has 'national importance' under the Dhanasar framework. While her work as a flight instructor and curriculum developer was acknowledged to have substantial merit, she did not provide sufficient evidence to show how her proposed 'new teaching paradigm' would have a broad, industry-wide impact beyond the specific institutions where she plans to teach.
