Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO concluded that the evidence did not demonstrate that her proposed endeavor in foreign trade and aeronautics would have a broad impact on the industry or the U.S. economy. The benefits of her work were deemed to be limited to her specific employer and its clients rather than having the wider national or global implications required for a national interest waiver.
