Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that her proposed endeavor as a business administrator had 'national importance.' While the AAO found the work had substantial merit, it concluded that its impact was limited to the individual companies she would serve, lacking the broader implications necessary to satisfy the first prong of the Dhanasar framework.
