Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that her proposed financial consulting business had national importance. The Director and AAO found that her business plan's projections for job creation and economic impact were unsubstantiated, and she did not provide corroborating evidence or sufficiently detailed expert letters to prove her endeavor's impact would rise to a national level.
