Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor as a dental surgeon had national importance, as required by the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner did not provide objective evidence showing his work would have broad implications for his field or a significant economic impact. On appeal, the petitioner did not submit new evidence to overcome these deficiencies.
