Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of her proposed endeavor. While the petitioner argued for the general importance of sustainable architecture, she did not provide sufficient evidence to show that her specific work would have a prospective impact rising to the level of national importance, such as developing new techniques or processes. Claims of future job creation were also found to be unsubstantiated in the record.
