Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that their proposed endeavor has 'national importance'. While the AAO agreed the endeavor had 'substantial merit' and the petitioner qualified for the underlying EB-2 classification, it found that working in an important field like cybersecurity is not enough. The petitioner did not show how their specific work would have a broader impact on the field or a significant enough economic effect to meet the national importance standard.
