Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor has national importance. While the AAO withdrew the Director's finding that the endeavor lacked substantial merit, it ultimately concluded that the petitioner's work for his employer in the oil and gas industry did not demonstrate the broader implications for the field or the nation required to meet the Dhanasar standard for a national interest waiver.
