Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The petitioner did not establish that his proposed endeavor had national importance, as the evidence failed to show his work would have a broader impact beyond his employers and clients or that his specific skills would significantly benefit the nation as a whole.
