Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of her proposed endeavor, the third prong of the Dhanasar framework. Although the Director found her endeavor had substantial merit and she was well-positioned, the petitioner did not demonstrate that her individual dental practice would have a broader impact beyond her immediate clients. Her claims of significant economic impact, job creation, and service to underprivileged communities were found to be general assertions lacking specific, corroborating evidence.
