Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed legal consultancy business had national importance. The petitioner's business plan did not sufficiently demonstrate how the creation of 36 jobs would have substantial positive economic effects, nor did it provide evidence of the availability of investment funds. The AAO found the petitioner did not show his endeavor had significant potential to employ U.S. workers or otherwise offer substantial positive economic effects for the nation.
