Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO found that the petitioner's plan to work as a surgeon described the typical duties of that profession and did not demonstrate how his work would have broader implications or impact on the medical field beyond serving his employer's patients.
