Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' of her proposed endeavor. While the general field of cybersecurity is important, the petitioner did not demonstrate that her specific work in risk management would have an impact beyond her immediate employer and its clients. The evidence provided supported the importance of the industry but did not sufficiently detail the prospective national impact of her specific project.
