Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor had 'national importance.' The AAO found that while his graphic design business had substantial merit, he did not demonstrate how its impact would extend beyond his immediate clients and employees to have a broader, national-level influence or substantial positive economic effects as required by the Dhanasar standard.
