Framework Evaluation
0 of 3 criteria met1 Substantial Merit and National Importance Not Met
While the endeavor had substantial merit, it lacked national importance as the petitioner did not demonstrate a scale of impact beyond his own company and clients.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet Prong 1 of the Dhanasar framework. Specifically, the business plan's projections for 33 jobs and revenue were not sufficiently explained, and the evidence did not show the endeavor's impact would extend beyond the firm's immediate clients to a level of national importance.
