Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' of the beneficiary's proposed endeavor. The AAO determined that the beneficiary's work in data migration and developing internal tools primarily benefited the petitioning company, rather than having broader implications for the field or the nation. New evidence regarding AI work introduced in the RFE response was rejected as a material change to the original petition.
