Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of her proposed endeavor, which is the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. While her high-end bakery was acknowledged to have substantial merit, she did not provide sufficient evidence to show its potential prospective impact would be significant enough to affect the U.S. economy or her field more broadly. The submitted business plan projections, letters of recommendation, and expert opinion were deemed insufficient to prove an impact beyond her immediate customers.
