Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' of her proposed endeavor. While her plan to open a wellness clinic was deemed to have substantial merit, she did not demonstrate that its impact would be broader than its local clientele or that it would have substantial positive economic effects on a national or significant regional scale, as required by the Dhanasar framework.
