Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. While the AAO agreed the proposed endeavor as a subsea engineer had substantial merit, the petitioner did not establish its 'national importance,' failing to demonstrate that his specific work would have a broader impact beyond his employer or offer substantial positive economic effects for the nation.
