Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. While the AAO agreed that the petitioner's proposed endeavor to provide IT and business intelligence services had substantial merit, it concluded the petitioner did not establish that the endeavor was of national importance, failing to show broader implications beyond benefiting the company's direct customers.
