Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor in the construction field had national importance. While the endeavor had substantial merit, the petitioner's evidence consisted of general industry reports about labor shortages, which was insufficient to demonstrate that his specific business plan would have a prospective national impact as required by the Dhanasar framework.
