Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of their proposed endeavor. The AAO concluded that the record lacked sufficient detail to show that the petitioner's research in thermal management for electronics, conducted as a technical project manager for a private company, would have a broad impact beyond their prospective employer and therefore did not rise to the level of national importance.
