Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an IT instructor, failed to establish the 'national importance' of his proposed endeavor. While the endeavor was found to have substantial merit, the AAO determined that the record did not show it would impact the IT or STEM industry more broadly, as opposed to being limited to the students he teaches.
