Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' of her proposed endeavor, which is the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. While the AAO acknowledged the endeavor had 'substantial merit,' the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to show that her specific project of providing mental health services to athletes would have broader, national implications, such as significant job creation or substantial positive economic effects.
