Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that their proposed endeavor had 'national importance' as required by the Dhanasar framework. The AAO found that the petitioner's work as a consultant would benefit specific companies and clients, but the record did not establish broader implications for the industry or U.S. economy sufficient to warrant a national interest waiver.
