Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that her proposed endeavor in cybersecurity consulting has national importance. The AAO concluded that the record failed to show the petitioner's work would have a broader regional or national impact beyond her immediate clients, which is a key requirement under the first prong of the Dhanasar framework.
