Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' prong of the Dhanasar framework. While the AAO agreed the proposed endeavor in cybersecurity had 'substantial merit', the petitioner did not sufficiently demonstrate how her specific plan to operate a consultancy would have a broader prospective impact on the nation, distinguishing it from the general importance of the field itself.
