Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor, opening a shooting academy, possessed national importance. While the endeavor had substantial merit, the Director and the AAO found its impact was localized and not significant enough in terms of economic effect or job creation to warrant a national interest waiver.
