Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that their proposed endeavor had 'national importance,' a key requirement under the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. Although the Director acknowledged the endeavor's substantial merit, the AAO affirmed that the record did not demonstrate the petitioner's proposed youth soccer organization would have a sufficiently broad prospective impact on a regional or national level.
