Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of her proposed endeavor. While the AAO acknowledged the substantial merit of working in distance education, it found the petitioner did not show how her proposed consulting business would impact the field on a national scale beyond her immediate clients. The decision also noted a lack of sufficient independent evidence to substantiate the large-scale impact of her past achievements.
