Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner presented two different proposed endeavors, making it impossible to analyze the petition under the Dhanasar framework. The petitioner initially proposed working as a civil engineer but later, in response to an RFE, changed the endeavor to owning a concrete batching plant, which the AAO considered a prohibited material change.
