Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her proposed endeavor had 'national importance.' Although her work as a dual-language educator was found to have substantial merit, she did not provide specific or quantifiable evidence demonstrating that her proposed activities would have a broad impact on her field beyond her immediate professional circle, as required by the Dhanasar framework.
