Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor, opening a gym and martial arts studio, was of national importance. While the Director and AAO agreed the endeavor had substantial merit, the petitioner's evidence regarding the general economic importance of the fitness industry and small businesses did not demonstrate the specific, broad prospective impact of his own venture beyond a local level.
