Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' of her proposed endeavor, which is the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO found that while her skills might benefit individual clients, the evidence did not demonstrate that her work would have a broader prospective impact beyond the companies she would directly serve. The letters of support were deemed to focus on her personal skills rather than the national importance of her proposed work.
