Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that her proposed endeavor had national importance, as required under the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO concurred with the Director, finding that the petitioner did not show how her work as a business specialist providing consulting services to individual companies would have a broader impact on her field or the nation. The petitioner's claims of wide-ranging societal benefits were found to be conclusory and unsupported by evidence.
