Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her proposed endeavor, operating a home health care business, had national importance. While the Director found the endeavor had substantial merit, the AAO agreed that the record did not show it would result in broader implications or significant positive economic effects sufficient to meet the national importance requirement under the Dhanasar framework.
