Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' of her proposed endeavor, which is the first prong of the Dhanasar framework for a National Interest Waiver. While the director found the petitioner's work had substantial merit, the AAO agreed that she did not demonstrate that her specific services in providing IP audits would have broader implications beyond her direct clients, thus failing to meet the national importance requirement.
