Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish two prongs of the Dhanasar framework. The Director and AAO concluded that the petitioner did not demonstrate that his proposed endeavor had national importance or that, on balance, it would be beneficial to the United States to waive the job offer requirement. The decision noted the business's low gross receipts did not support claims of having a regional or national impact.
