Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that her proposed endeavor had national importance, a key requirement under the Dhanasar framework. While her work as a chef and entrepreneur was found to have substantial merit, she did not provide sufficient evidence to show that her catering and consulting business would have a broader impact on the U.S. economy or her field beyond her immediate clients and local area.
