Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that his proposed entrepreneurial activities had 'national importance.' Although the Director and AAO found the endeavor to have 'substantial merit,' the petitioner did not sufficiently prove his businesses would have a significant economic or social impact on a national scale.
