Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' of their proposed endeavor. Although the AAO found the petitioner's work had 'substantial merit' and withdrew the Director's finding of willful misrepresentation, it ultimately agreed with the Director that the petitioner did not show their specific work would have a broad prospective impact on a national scale.
