Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate the 'national importance' of his proposed endeavor as a chief executive and entrepreneur in the travel industry. The AAO found that while the endeavor had substantial merit, the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence that his specific business would create a substantial positive economic effect or have broader implications for the U.S. The petitioner's projections for job creation and profit were deemed unsubstantiated.
