Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of his proposed endeavor. The Director concluded that the petitioner did not demonstrate that the impact of his consulting work in clean energy would extend beyond his own organization to the industry broadly or result in substantial positive economic effects for the nation. The AAO found the petitioner's arguments on appeal unpersuasive.
