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 her work as an IT project manager was found to have substantial merit, the AAO concluded that its impact would not extend beyond her specific employer and clients to affect the broader IT field. The argument of a general shortage of IT workers was deemed insufficient, as that issue is addressed by the labor certification process.
