Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO affirmed the Director's finding that the petitioner did not establish that their proposed endeavor of providing immigration document preparation services had 'national importance,' as the record lacked sufficient evidence of a prospective impact beyond the petitioner's direct customers or a significant influence on the broader field.
