AAO found that the Petitioner's work primarily benefits his employer and its clients, and did not sufficiently demonstrate broader national or global implications. The Petitioner's claims of public dissemination via preprints and conferences were unsupported by evidence of actual publications since 2020, and the employer's letters focused on internal company benefits rather than broader field impact.

AAO agreed the proposed research endeavor (wireless communication and data transmission research) is substantially meritorious and nationally important, but distinguished it from the Petitioner's software engineering employment, which was found to not rise to national importance because its benefits are limited to the employer.

AAO found that the Petitioner's claims of industry impact were conclusory and unsupported—she did not specify what innovative practices or technological advancements she would introduce, her alignment with national health initiatives addressed only the substantial merit prong rather than national importance, and her financial and employment projections were internally inconsistent and insufficient to show operations at a na…

AAO agreed with the Director that the Petitioner's record does not adequately show how the proposed business would impact the industry or U.S. economy beyond its prospective clients. The Petitioner's personal accomplishments are relevant to the second prong (positioning), not national importance of the endeavor.…

AAO agreed with the Director that the Petitioner's record does not adequately show how the proposed business would impact the industry or U.S. economy beyond its prospective clients. The Petitioner's personal accomplishments are relevant to the second prong (positioning), not national importance of the endeavor. The relevant inquiry is the specific proposed endeavor's broader implications, not the importance of biomedical services generally.
AAO found the citation analysis based on the broader engineering field unreliable, the recommendation letters general and not addressed to his tenure-track plans, the patents and peer review of unestablished significance, and no evidence of grants, job offers, or interest from U.S. entities supporting his plan to become a tenure-track professor.

The AAO found the endeavor's projected economic impact unsubstantiated, noting the business plan lacked sufficient detail to support staffing and revenue projections. The endeavor was not shown to have broader societal impact beyond the clients it would directly serve, and alignment with government initiatives alone does not establish national importance.…

The AAO found the endeavor's projected economic impact unsubstantiated, noting the business plan lacked sufficient detail to support staffing and revenue projections. The endeavor was not shown to have broader societal impact beyond the clients it would directly serve, and alignment with government initiatives alone does not establish national importance. The Petitioner's personal qualifications, misplaced under prong one, are more relevant to prong two.
AAO concurred with the Director that the Petitioner's services to industrial chemistry and food manufacturers would not have broader implications at a level commensurate with national importance, that working in an important field is insufficient, and that projected employment and financial figures lacked corroboration.
