Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that his proposed endeavor meets the criteria for a National Interest Waiver under the Dhanasar framework. While the endeavor was found to have substantial merit, the petitioner did not establish that it was of national importance, as the record did not show its potential impact would extend beyond his own business and clients to his field more broadly.
