Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' of her proposed endeavor, as required by the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO found that the petitioner did not demonstrate how her construction company would have a broader impact beyond its immediate clients and employees. The business plan's revenue and job creation projections were deemed insufficient to show a substantial positive economic effect on the U.S. economy.
