Decision Summary
The motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of her proposed endeavor, which involved creating a '15-Minute City model'. The AAO found the petitioner did not demonstrate how her specific project would have a broad impact beyond her own employer and prospective clients, a key requirement under the Dhanasar framework.
