Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that their proposed endeavor as an individual pilot and aviation instructor was of 'national importance'. While the AAO acknowledged a general pilot shortage and the importance of the airline industry, it concluded that labor shortages are addressed by the labor certification process and the petitioner did not demonstrate that their specific work would have a sufficiently broad potential impact.
