Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that his proposed endeavor had national importance. Although the Director and AAO agreed that providing affordable housing has substantial merit, the petitioner did not prove his specific projects would have a broader prospective impact beyond a local level, thus failing the first prong of the Dhanasar framework.
Criteria Discussed
