Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate the national importance of his proposed endeavor, as required by the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO found that the petitioner's business plan did not sufficiently show that his financial and business consultancy would have a broader impact beyond its own clients or contribute original innovations to the industry. The petitioner's plan to consult for hospitals on Patient Blood Management was also deemed unpersuasive, as PBM is a healthcare strategy, not a business methodology, and the petitioner lacked the relevant expertise.
