Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner materially changed their proposed endeavor after receiving a Request for Evidence (RFE). They initially proposed to work as a marketing manager for U.S. companies but later changed this to starting their own entrepreneurial marketing consultancy. The AAO found these inconsistent representations made it impossible to evaluate the endeavor's substantial merit and national importance under the Dhanasar framework.
