Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor, providing data integration consultancy services, had the requisite 'national importance' under the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO found that the evidence did not demonstrate that the endeavor's impact would extend beyond his company and customers to affect his field or the country more broadly. The petitioner's business plan, including projected sales and job creation, was deemed insufficient to show a broad national impact.
