Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that her proposed endeavor in furniture design was of national importance. While the AAO agreed her work had substantial merit, she did not prove that her endeavor would extend beyond her prospective clients to impact her field more broadly or offer substantial economic benefits to the nation.
