Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of her proposed endeavor, which was to launch a civil engineering and project management consulting company. The Director found, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner did not show how her company's work would extend beyond serving individual clients to impact her field or the U.S. more broadly. Evidence of the company's work, which was established after the petition filing date, could not be considered.
