Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his specific proposed endeavor had national importance. While the AAO acknowledged the general importance of civil engineering and infrastructure, the petitioner did not demonstrate that his work would have broader implications beyond his direct clients or impact the field as a whole, thus failing the first prong of the Dhanasar framework.
