Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her proposed endeavor as a research economist had 'national importance.' While her work was found to have substantial merit, the evidence did not demonstrate that her specific research would have a broad, national-level impact beyond her immediate employer, thus failing the first prong of the Dhanasar framework.
