Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of his proposed business consulting endeavor. The AAO concluded that the projected benefits, such as job creation and tax revenue from assisting small to medium-sized businesses, were not on a scale sufficient to impact the U.S. regional or national economy significantly. The evidence did not show that the endeavor's impact would extend beyond the petitioner's individual clients.
