Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate the 'national importance' of his proposed work as an architect. While his endeavor was found to have 'substantial merit', the AAO concluded that the record lacked evidence that the benefits of his specific work would extend beyond his employers and clients to advance the field or significantly impact the U.S. economy on a national scale.
