Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' of his proposed endeavor under the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO found that while the petitioner's plan to start an IT consultancy had substantial merit, the evidence did not show how the business would have broader implications or a substantial positive economic impact beyond its immediate clients and employees.
Criteria Discussed
Substantial Merit And National Importance Well-Positioned To Advance The Proposed Endeavor On Balance, Waiver Would Benefit The U.S.
