Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that his proposed IT consulting business had 'national importance.' While the AAO agreed the endeavor had substantial merit, it found the record did not establish that the business would affect the IT field or the national economy more broadly, beyond its own customers and local impact.
