1 Proposed endeavor has substantial merit and national importance Not Met

The Director found the nature of the proposed endeavor unclear and lacked sufficient evidence to establish substantial merit or national importance. The AAO affirmed this finding.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The Director denied the petition because the nature of the proposed endeavor was unclear, and the petitioner failed to provide consistent, detailed, and corroborating evidence to establish substantial merit or national importance for Prong 1. The AAO affirmed this decision, agreeing that the evidence did not sufficiently describe a cognizable endeavor, and therefore did not evaluate Prongs 2 and 3.
