Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that their proposed endeavor, establishing a martial arts academy, had national importance. The AAO agreed with the Director's finding that the endeavor's impact would be limited to its customers rather than having a broad impact on the field, and that projections for significant economic effects were not credible.
