Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' of his proposed endeavor, which was to open a pastry shop. The AAO determined that while the endeavor had merit, the petitioner did not show that his specific business would have broader implications or substantial positive economic effects rising to a national level, as required by the Dhanasar framework.
