Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of her proposed endeavor as a legal consultant. While the endeavor had substantial merit, she did not sufficiently demonstrate how her work with individual clients would have broader implications for international trade. Her business plan was also found to be insufficient, with inconsistent and unsupported financial projections that failed to show a significant potential to employ U.S. workers or create substantial positive economic effects.
