Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her proposed endeavor had national importance under the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The Director found that while her work as a nurse had substantial merit, she did not demonstrate how her specific plans, including a potential home health service company, would have broader, national-level implications beyond local patient care. The petitioner's claims on appeal were deemed generalized and lacked sufficient substantiating evidence.
