Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of her proposed endeavor as described at the time of filing. The petitioner materially changed her proposed endeavor in response to a Request for Evidence (RFE), shifting from working for American companies to working for her own company. The AAO found that a petitioner may not make such material changes after filing to make a deficient petition conform to USCIS requirements.
