Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her proposed endeavor had sufficient national importance, a requirement under the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The petitioner, a legal analyst, proposed to advise companies on U.S.-Brazil cross-border business, but the AAO concluded this did not meet the threshold for national importance required for the waiver.
