Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the first prong of the Dhanasar framework for a national interest waiver. While the petitioner's endeavor to improve child nutrition was found to have substantial merit, she did not provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate its national importance, failing to show how her locally-focused company would have broader implications or a prospective national impact.
