Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his specific endeavor as a franchise and business management consultant was of national importance. The AAO found that while the petitioner provided general articles about the economic importance of franchising and small businesses, he did not demonstrate the prospective national impact of his own specific work.
