Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of their proposed financial services business. The petitioner's business plan lacked sufficient justification for its job and revenue projections, and they failed to demonstrate that their specific endeavor would have a significant positive economic impact on a national scale. The AAO determined that general claims about the importance of entrepreneurship were not sufficient to meet this evidentiary burden.
