Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner's claims of impacting the national interest were speculative and not supported by evidence like tax returns or media coverage for his company. On motion, the petitioner impermissibly made a material change to his argument, shifting from increasing U.S. exports to increasing imports from China, which damaged his credibility. The petitioner also failed to establish that he would benefit the national interest to a greater extent than a qualified U.S. worker.
