Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her proposed endeavor as a family relationship coach had national importance. While the AAO agreed the endeavor had substantial merit, the petitioner did not demonstrate it would have the broader prospective impact necessary to satisfy the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO also noted, but did not base its dismissal on, the petitioner's failure to provide properly translated academic documents to prove eligibility for the underlying advanced degree classification.
