Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that their proposed endeavor met the first prong of the Dhanasar framework, specifically 'national importance.' The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner did not demonstrate that the benefits of providing financial guidance to small businesses would impact the field beyond the individuals utilizing the service, nor did the record adequately show that establishing the endeavor in a HUBZone would have a significant positive economic effect.
