Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's proposed endeavor, representing individual bankruptcy clients, was of 'national importance'. The AAO determined that the work's impact was limited to the beneficiary's specific clients and lacked the broader implications required by the Dhanasar framework. The petitioner's attempt to add policy and legislative work after filing was disregarded as an impermissible material change to the petition.
