Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor in civil engineering had national importance, which is the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The evidence, including a business plan and letters of endorsement, did not demonstrate that the impact of his work would extend beyond his specific company and clients. The AAO found the business plan contained discrepancies and lacked credible sources for its projections.
