Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor, a network security consulting firm, had national importance. The evidence did not show the firm would have a nationally significant impact on job creation, the economy, or the field itself. The AAO also raised concerns about the petitioner's underlying eligibility as an advanced degree professional due to the lack of clarity on the accreditation of his foreign master's degree institution.
