Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her proposed endeavor had national importance. The Director and the AAO found that her plan to provide consulting services through her new company did not demonstrate a potential prospective impact beyond her immediate clients. The petitioner's arguments improperly conflated her personal expertise, which is relevant to the second prong of the Dhanasar framework, with the national importance of her specific endeavor, which is the focus of the first prong.
