Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a commercial airline pilot, failed to demonstrate that his proposed endeavor had 'national importance.' While the AAO agreed his work had substantial merit, it concluded his impact would be too narrow, primarily affecting his employer and its customers, and did not demonstrate he would impact the U.S. aviation field on a national level.
