Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that their proposed endeavor in public relations had national importance, as required under the Dhanasar framework. The Director and the AAO found that the petitioner did not show how their work would impact the industry beyond an immediate employer or students. The claims of broader prospective impact were not corroborated with sufficient independent, objective evidence.
