Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of her proposed endeavor under the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. While her work as a dentist was found to have substantial merit, she did not demonstrate that her specific undertaking would have a broader prospective impact beyond her own practice. The AAO also declined to consider a new endeavor proposed on appeal, as it was a material change to the original petition.
