Framework Evaluation
0 of 3 criteria met1 Substantial Merit and National Importance Not Met

Why This Petition Was Denied
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of the specific endeavor under the first Dhanasar prong.

Consequently, the AAO did not reach a conclusion on the second and third prongs.
