Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that her proposed endeavor, a midwives staffing company, had 'national importance' as required for a national interest waiver. While the AAO acknowledged the endeavor's substantial merit, it found insufficient evidence that the business's impact would extend beyond a local level to have national implications. A newly proposed doula training program was not considered as it was raised for the first time on appeal.
