Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the first prong of the Dhanasar framework, namely that her proposed endeavor in nutrition has substantial merit and national importance. The petitioner's initial plan was too general, and her revised plan, submitted in response to an RFE, presented a new set of facts that was not established at the time of filing.
