Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because while the petitioner's endeavor was found to have substantial merit, she failed to establish its national importance. The AAO concluded that the endeavor's impact would likely be limited to the law firm's clients and that she did not demonstrate its potential for broader positive economic effects or significant U.S. worker employment.
