Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her proposed endeavor, a management consulting agency, had substantial merit and national importance as required by the Dhanasar framework. The Director and AAO concluded that the petitioner's business plan did not demonstrate substantial positive economic effects beyond the local community. The petitioner's arguments on appeal were found to be misplaced as they focused on prior work experience rather than the prospective impact of the proposed endeavor itself.
