Director found criterion met; AAO did not disturb this finding but criticized the Director's failure to weigh this evidence in the final merits determination.
AAO notes the Director considered the Petitioner's credentials and history under prong two, and that those credentials are not in dispute, but does not make a separate prong-two finding because prong one is dispositive.

The flight school's job creation (no more than six employees at a time, reliance on contractors) and capital investment ($1,000,000, ~10 jobs) did not rise above EB-5 thresholds in significance. Participation in a national training certification program did not show national importance at the individual-company level. Claims about unique airplane-and-helicopter training were uncorroborated.…

The flight school's job creation (no more than six employees at a time, reliance on contractors) and capital investment ($1,000,000, ~10 jobs) did not rise above EB-5 thresholds in significance. Participation in a national training certification program did not show national importance at the individual-company level. Claims about unique airplane-and-helicopter training were uncorroborated. The proposed software would give the company a competitive advantage rather than a nationally important benefit. The online academy lacked any supporting evidence. Training largely foreign students did not address U.S. pilot shortages. New claims raised for the first time on appeal could not establish eligibility as of the filing date.
on balance, beneficial to waive job offer and labor certification
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO agreed the Petitioner did not satisfy the third prong. The urgency argument was unpersuasive because background relevance to energy efficiency does not show that standard job offer processes would impose unacceptable delays or that the Petitioner's work would have a substantial (rather than incremental) near-term impact.…

AAO agreed the Petitioner did not satisfy the third prong. The urgency argument was unpersuasive because background relevance to energy efficiency does not show that standard job offer processes would impose unacceptable delays or that the Petitioner's work would have a substantial (rather than incremental) near-term impact. The specialization argument failed because metallurgical engineering is not as specialized as the field in Dhanasar. Citation evidence alone did not establish that waiving the job offer requirement would be beneficial on balance.
The Petitioner's reliance on broad industry economic benefits does not address the specific prospective impact of his own proposed work. He failed to show that his work would extend beyond his employer(s)/clients or have broader implications in the supply chain or logistics fields, or that it would have significant potential to employ U.S. workers or offer substantial positive economic effects for the nation.

AAO disagreed with the Director's finding that national importance was not established. AAO found the Director improperly conflated the proposed endeavor with the Petitioner's then-current employment and failed to consider evidence showing the Petitioner's research could improve fuel efficiency in countless vehicles and has aerospace applications, with findings disseminated through published articles.

AAO agreed that the proposed endeavor has substantial merit but lacks national importance. The teacher shortage alone does not elevate an individual teacher's work to national importance, and the record failed to show the Petitioner's proposed teaching would have wider implications in the fields of ESL, philosophy, or education beyond his particular school.

AAO found that while the Petitioner's proposed work has substantial merit, she did not provide sufficient evidence of prospective national impact. Her statements reflected intention to provide valuable consulting services but did not demonstrate that the impact of her work would rise to national importance or generate substantial positive economic effects beyond her own company and clients.
