Decision Summary
The motion was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional, as his employment letters were deficient. Furthermore, the petitioner did not demonstrate that his proposed commercial flooring business possessed the requisite national importance under the Dhanasar framework, with its prospective impact deemed nominal rather than substantial.
