Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor had national importance, as required by the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO found the evidence did not show how his specific work as a general and operations manager would have broader implications for his field or the U.S. economy. Additionally, a new business plan submitted after the RFE was disregarded as a material change to the facts of the petition after the time of filing.
