Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance, which is the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The petitioner provided inconsistent and vague descriptions of his proposed endeavor, initially claiming he would continue working in his field, then submitting a business plan for training older adults, and on appeal, stating he would coach athletes for international competition.
