Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor as an information security analyst has 'national importance' under the Dhanasar framework. The AAO concluded that while the work has merit, the petitioner did not demonstrate that his specific activities would have a broader impact on the cybersecurity industry or U.S. economy beyond his own career and immediate clients.
