Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of their proposed endeavor under the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. While the AAO agreed the work had substantial merit, the petitioner did not provide sufficient objective evidence, like letters from partners or funders, to prove the prospective impact of their specific projects, instead focusing on the general importance of the field.
