AAO withdrew the Director's substantial-merit finding because the Petitioner failed to identify a specific proposed endeavor at filing, and his later-asserted endeavors constituted impermissible material changes under Izummi and Bardouille. AAO also held the Petitioner failed to show national importance, as the focus is on the specific endeavor's broader implications, not the importance of the field of weightlifting itself.

AAO found that support e-mails came from personal accounts without organizational affiliation and were not probative of research implementation; reference letters did not provide examples of how her research influenced the field; publications lacked citation evidence or other indicators of significance; and a post-filing employment offer could not establish a record of success at time of filing.

AAO found that the record supports substantial merit but not national importance. The evidence showed collective value of ESL teachers but did not demonstrate that this individual teacher's specific proposed endeavor has broader implications for the field beyond her particular school.…

AAO found that the record supports substantial merit but not national importance. The evidence showed collective value of ESL teachers but did not demonstrate that this individual teacher's specific proposed endeavor has broader implications for the field beyond her particular school. A reported teacher shortage alone does not render an individual teacher's work nationally important, as the labor certification process addresses such shortages.
AAO agreed the endeavor has substantial merit but found the petitioner failed to show national importance. The evidence related to the general importance of marketing rather than the prospective national impact of the petitioner's specific endeavor, and the petitioner did not demonstrate significant potential to employ U.S. workers or produce substantial positive economic effects at a national level.

Membership in the professions (baccalaureate minimum requirement)
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the Petitioner was hired as a senior manpower and recruitment officer in 2001, five years before earning his bachelor's degree, establishing that a baccalaureate degree is not the minimum entry requirement for the occupation. Additionally, the Petitioner's stated intention to work as a freelancer or for unnamed employers made it impossible to confirm the minimum educational requirement for the intended U.S. role.

AAO focused on national importance, finding the Petitioner's arguments relied on the collective importance of HR professionals broadly and did not show the broader implications of his specific individual work. Importance to a specific employer or client does not translate into national importance.…

Foreign degree equivalency to U.S. advanced degree

AAO found that the Petitioner's proposed endeavor did not sufficiently extend beyond her employer and future clientele to impact the financial management field or U.S. economy more broadly at a level commensurate with national importance. New evidence submitted on motion did not overcome this finding.
