Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner made an impermissible material change to her proposed endeavor after filing, switching from tourism marketing to a food business. The AAO found this new plan could not retroactively establish eligibility and that the original endeavor, as filed, failed to demonstrate the required 'national importance' under the Dhanasar framework.
