AAO agreed the endeavor has substantial merit but found it does not meet the national importance element. The business plan lacked detail on the innovative method, financial projections were unsupported, the expert opinion focused on the industry rather than the specific endeavor's prospective impact, and the Petitioner relied improperly on her own credentials rather than the endeavor's broader implications.

AAO agreed that while the endeavor has substantial merit, the Petitioner did not demonstrate that her particular business would have national implications — whether economically, through benefiting a depressed area, or through advancements in the healthcare field.
