Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that her proposed endeavor as a sound designer has national importance. While the AAO acknowledged the substantial merit of the field of sound design in general, it found that the petitioner's work on specific, local theatrical productions did not demonstrate a prospective impact on a national scale as required under the Matter of Dhanasar framework.
