AAO found that while the Petitioner's proposed work has substantial merit, it lacks national importance because the evidence does not show that her endeavor's prospective impact extends beyond her company and its clientele. Her sales forecasts and staffing projections do not demonstrate substantial positive economic effects, and she has not shown that the area where she operates is economically depressed or that employment levels would provide a substantial regional or national economic benefit.
AAO found that the prospective employer's 10-year revenue and job growth estimates did not reference the Petitioner or his proposed endeavor, meaning that revenue and hiring would occur regardless of the Petitioner.

General industry articles did not address how the Petitioner's specific endeavor would produce national-importance-level economic effects. COVID-19 articles were inadmissible because they post-dated the 2018 filing and lacked probative value specific to the Petitioner's endeavor.
AAO found that the reference letters did not show citations or implementation of the Petitioner's research, her education and clinical experience alone were insufficient, and the record did not demonstrate that her work has served as an impetus for progress or generated substantial positive discourse in the field.

AAO found that the record lacked sufficient evidence to substantiate claims of national-level economic impact.

AAO found that the record lacked sufficient evidence to substantiate claims of national-level economic impact. The Petitioner did not demonstrate how his innovations would affect the national economy directly or indirectly, how his endeavor would create substantial revenue or GDP impact, or how it would have significant potential to employ U.S. workers. The submitted recommendation letters praised the Petitioner's qualifications generally but did not establish the prospective national impact of his specific proposed endeavor.
