Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner improperly introduced a new proposed endeavor in response to an RFE, changing from working as a physical therapist to developing her own company. The AAO determined this was a material change made after the filing date, which cannot retroactively establish eligibility. The petitioner failed to establish the merits of the endeavor described in the initial petition.
