Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. Although the Director found the proposed endeavor of providing strategic consulting to small and medium-sized businesses had substantial merit, the petitioner failed to demonstrate it had national importance. The record lacked a specific plan or evidence to show how the petitioner's work would have a broad impact on the U.S. economy or job creation at a national level.
