Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' of his specific proposed endeavor, which is the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO withdrew the Director's prior finding that this prong was met, concluding that the petitioner's evidence focused on the general importance of his field and university rather than the specific impact of his own research.
