Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' of her proposed endeavor under the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO determined that while the field of telecommunications is important, the petitioner did not demonstrate that her specific work as a radio frequency engineer would have broad, national-level implications. The decision also noted an impermissible material change to the proposed endeavor from working as an engineer to starting a business, and only considered the initial proposal.
