Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of her proposed HR consulting endeavor. While she claimed her business would create economic benefits, she did not provide sufficient specific evidence to substantiate these claims, such as identified consulting engagements or a direct connection between her services and a boost in client sales. The AAO determined her arguments relied too heavily on her personal experience, which is more relevant to the second prong of the Dhanasar framework, rather than demonstrating the national importance of the endeavor itself.
