Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of his proposed endeavor. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner did not show his work would have broader implications or substantial positive economic effects beyond his own company. Additionally, the AAO found the petitioner failed to document his eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as he did not provide a required academic credentials evaluation for his foreign degrees.
