Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of her specific proposed endeavor. The AAO found that providing paralegal and legal consulting services, while having merit, did not demonstrate the broader implications required for a national interest waiver. Additionally, the AAO refused to consider a new business plan introduced after the initial filing, as it represented a material change to the petition.
