Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner materially changed his proposed endeavor after the initial filing in response to an RFE. The AAO determined this new business plan presented a new set of facts that could not establish eligibility, as it must exist at the time of filing. The initially proposed endeavor was found to lack evidence of national importance beyond the scope of his specific employers.
