Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor had national importance under the Dhanasar framework. The AAO agreed with the Director that while the petitioner's work advising startups was valuable, he did not provide sufficient evidence to show its prospective impact would extend beyond his own company and clientele to affect the industry or a field more broadly.
