Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' of her proposed endeavor as required by the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. While her work as a performer of educational shows was deemed to have merit, she did not provide sufficient evidence to show its prospective impact would be broader than the local communities it directly serves or that it would significantly affect the U.S. education system or economy.
