Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner substantially altered his proposed endeavor after filing the petition. The petitioner submitted a business plan for his own consulting company, which was incorporated after the petition filing date, in response to an RFE. A petitioner must establish eligibility at the time of filing, and this new business plan presented a new set of facts that did not exist at that time.
