Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. While the Director agreed the petitioner's endeavor had substantial merit, the petitioner did not demonstrate that his proposed law consultancy business had national importance. The AAO concluded the record did not show the endeavor's impact would extend beyond the petitioner's company and clients to affect the legal consulting field or U.S. economy more broadly.
