The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The Director and the AAO concluded that while the petitioner's proposed work as a financial analyst had substantial merit, he did not sufficiently demonstrate that his endeavor had national importance beyond serving his specific clients.
