Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. While the AAO found the petitioner's endeavor to provide educational services to Nigerian students had substantial merit, it concluded he did not establish that the endeavor had national importance because its impact was limited to his prospective clients and lacked broader implications.
