Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor had national importance. While the AAO agreed the work had substantial merit, it found the petitioner did not demonstrate that the prospective impact of his work would extend beyond his employer's business and its clients to the broader information technology field or the U.S. economy.
