Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary's proposed work had 'national importance.' While the AAO agreed the work had substantial merit, it found the petitioner did not demonstrate that the beneficiary's cybersecurity services would have a broad enough impact on the economy or the field as a whole, beyond serving its direct clients.
