Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor, an aesthetician clinic, had national importance. Although the Director and AAO agreed the endeavor had substantial merit, the petitioner did not demonstrate that the projected job creation or economic effects were significant enough on a national scale. The evidence provided, including general industry articles and letters of recommendation, did not show that the petitioner's specific project would have a broad impact on the field or society.
