Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that their proposed endeavor in information technology has national importance, which is a required prong under the Matter of Dhanasar framework. Although the endeavor was found to have substantial merit, the petitioner did not demonstrate its potential prospective impact would be broader than just assisting individual businesses, and thus failed to show it would benefit the United States on a national scale.
