Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' prong of the Dhanasar framework. Although the AAO found the proposed endeavor had 'substantial merit,' it concluded the petitioner relied on the general importance of her industry (consulting for Latino-owned small businesses) rather than providing sufficient evidence of her specific endeavor's broader, national-level impact beyond her direct clients.
