Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her proposed endeavor in interior design and business consulting had national importance. The AAO concluded that she did not sufficiently demonstrate that her specific work would have broader implications for her field or substantial positive economic effects for the nation, as required under the first prong of the Dhanasar framework.
