Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' of her proposed endeavor, a required element of the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner's work as a fitness director, while having merit, was not shown to have a broader impact on the industry beyond her own clients. As this prong was not met, the petition was denied without consideration of the remaining criteria.
