Decision Summary
The motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate the national importance of her proposed endeavor. The AAO found that while the petitioner's work in cybersecurity sales has substantial merit, its impact did not sufficiently extend beyond her specific employer and its clients. Projections regarding job creation and economic impact were found to be speculative and lacked sufficient evidence to show a substantial positive effect on the U.S. economy as required by the Dhanasar framework.
