Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her proposed endeavor has national importance, a key requirement of the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. While the AAO withdrew the Director's finding that the endeavor lacked substantial merit, it ultimately concluded that the petitioner's plan to start a local family counseling business in Florida did not demonstrate a sufficient national or regional impact.
