Decision Summary
The motion to reconsider was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy. The AAO affirmed its finding that the petitioner did not demonstrate the national importance of his proposed endeavor, as the evidence focused on the general importance of his field rather than the broader, national-level implications of his specific business. Furthermore, his projections for job creation and economic impact were not found to be substantial enough to meet the required threshold.
