Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that his proposed endeavor in sports performance enhancement possessed national importance. The AAO found that while the project had substantial merit, its benefits were limited to the petitioner's direct clients and did not demonstrate a broader, national-level impact or significant economic effects as required by the Dhanasar framework.
