Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor as a helicopter pilot in the medical air transport field was of 'national importance'. While the AAO acknowledged the endeavor's substantial merit, it concluded the petitioner did not demonstrate the necessary potential prospective impact to satisfy this critical prong of the Dhanasar framework for a national interest waiver.
