Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' of her proposed endeavor as required by the Dhanasar framework. While the endeavor had substantial merit, the evidence did not demonstrate that her specific IT services would have a broader impact beyond her immediate clients. The petitioner focused on the general importance of the IT field rather than the specific national-level implications of her work.
