Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor has national importance. While his work as a software quality assurance consultant was found to have substantial merit, he did not demonstrate how his specific business would have a prospective impact on the industry or field more broadly, beyond his own company and its clients. The evidence provided was deemed insufficient to show that the endeavor would have the significant, national-level impact required by the Dhanasar framework.
