Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' of his proposed endeavor. The AAO agreed with the Director that merely working in an important field like civil engineering is insufficient; the petitioner did not provide specific evidence that his individual work would have broader implications or a significant positive impact beyond the typical duties of his occupation.
