Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a STEM teacher, failed to establish that their proposed endeavor had national importance. The AAO found that the petitioner's work would not impact the field more broadly beyond their prospective students and did not demonstrate a substantial positive economic effect, therefore failing the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. Additionally, the AAO disregarded a new endeavor proposed after the initial filing.
