Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that her proposed endeavor—opening a training and placement company for dental assistants—had national importance. The AAO agreed with the Director that while the endeavor had merit, its impact was localized and the petitioner did not show it was superior to existing U.S. training programs. The petitioner's arguments about addressing workforce shortages and creating economic benefits were found to be unsupported by the evidence.
