Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her proposed endeavor had national importance, as required by the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO agreed with the Director that the impact of her company, which develops environmentally friendly products, did not sufficiently extend beyond the company and its clientele to impact the industry or field more broadly.
