Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of her proposed endeavor, which is the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO found that the record did not show how her specific education center would impact the industry or U.S. economy more broadly, beyond its direct clientele. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to overcome the Director's finding that the endeavor's impact was not at a level commensurate with national importance.
