Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner materially changed his proposed endeavor after filing the petition, from seeking employment to founding his own company. This was considered an impermissible new set of facts not present at the time of filing. Additionally, the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed endeavor had national importance, focusing on generalized industry information rather than its specific prospective impact.
