Decision Summary
The motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed. The AAO affirmed its prior decision that the petitioner's initial proposed endeavor did not demonstrate prospective national importance. The petitioner's later submission of a plan to start a new company was considered a material change that could not retroactively establish eligibility at the time of filing.
