Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner attempted to make an impermissible material change to her proposed endeavor after filing the petition in response to a NOID. The AAO found that even if the new endeavor were considered, the petitioner failed to establish its national importance, as the evidence did not demonstrate broader implications for the industry or significant economic impact beyond her own company.
