Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' of his proposed recruitment business. While the endeavor was found to have substantial merit, the petitioner did not demonstrate that its potential job creation and economic effects would be nationally significant. Additionally, the petitioner did not contest the Director's finding that he failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification, which the AAO deemed a waived issue.
