Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility as an advanced degree professional due to deficient evidence of five years of progressive work experience. Furthermore, the AAO affirmed that the proposed commercial flooring business lacked the requisite 'national importance,' as its impact was not shown to be broader than incremental economic benefits to the petitioner's own company, employees, and clients.
