Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor, operating an HVAC and Smart Home systems company, had 'national importance.' While the AAO agreed the endeavor had 'substantial merit,' it concluded the petitioner did not demonstrate that his specific business would have broader implications or a prospective impact beyond a local level, a key requirement under the Dhanasar framework.
Criteria Discussed
