Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor, operating a travel agency, was of national importance. The Director concluded, and the AAO affirmed, that the petitioner did not demonstrate that the business had the significant potential to employ U.S. workers or offer substantial positive economic effects for the nation. The endeavor's benefits did not appear to extend beyond the local community to impact the industry more broadly.
