Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that she is well-positioned to advance her proposed endeavor. Although the AAO found her research into construction safety and efficiency to have substantial merit and national importance, she did not provide sufficient evidence demonstrating that her specific findings and contributions are being utilized or have had a significant impact within the construction industry.
