Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that their proposed endeavor, expanding a fitness company, possessed national importance. The AAO found that the petitioner did not show how their fitness methods were innovative or would have a broader impact beyond their own business and clients. Furthermore, the petitioner did not establish that the endeavor's economic contributions, such as job creation, rose to a level of substantial positive economic effects for the nation.
