Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. He did not specifically identify a proposed endeavor, instead discussing his past work and his intent to pursue further education, which was insufficient to establish that his work had substantial merit and national importance.
