Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate the 'national importance' of their proposed endeavor. Although the AAO found the endeavor had substantial merit, it concluded the petitioner did not show how their specific work would create a broader impact on the oil and gas industry beyond the contributions of a single skilled professional.
