Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the criteria for a national interest waiver under the Dhanasar framework. The AAO concluded that while the proposed endeavor to provide marketing services had substantial merit, the petitioner did not establish its national importance. The record lacked sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the endeavor's prospective impact would rise to a national level, beyond benefiting the petitioner's direct clients.
