Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that his proposed endeavor in energy efficiency has national importance. The AAO found that the evidence, including a business plan for his small Florida-based company, did not show how his work would have a broad, national-scale impact, a requirement under the first prong of the Dhanasar framework.
