Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor had national importance under the Dhanasar framework. Although his field of information technology is important, he did not prove that his specific plan to offer data analysis services to small businesses would have a broader impact on his field or a substantial positive economic effect on a national scale. The financial and staffing projections in his business plan were found to be unsubstantiated by corroborating evidence.
