Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. She did not specifically describe her proposed endeavor, instead offering only broad claims and general job duties, which was insufficient to demonstrate that the endeavor had substantial merit and national importance.
