Decision Summary
The motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of his proposed endeavor. The AAO found that the petitioner improperly relied on his personal qualifications and the general importance of his field, rather than the specific, broad impact of his proposed work. Evidence such as his business plan's job creation and revenue projections was deemed speculative and insufficient to demonstrate an impact rising to the level of national importance.
