Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her proposed endeavor, a legal and customs consulting business for U.S.-Brazil trade, had national importance. While the endeavor was found to have substantial merit, the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to support claims of significant job creation or broad positive economic effects that would extend beyond her own company.
