AAO affirms that the Beneficiary's contributions were not shown to be of major significance, finding citation evidence insufficient and the expert letters lacking specific information about field-wide impact. AAO disagrees, however, with the Director's blanket discounting of solicited expert letters and declines to consider new evidence first submitted on appeal.

The AAO found the record sufficient to show substantial merit but insufficient to establish national importance. Evidence and arguments addressed the importance of the construction industry generally rather than the national importance of the Petitioner's specific proposed endeavor. The expert letter's job creation projections were not supported by documentary evidence and were insufficient to demonstrate substantial positive economic effects commensurate with national importance.
AAO did not reach a substantive determination on prong one but found the Director's analysis deficient because it failed to reference the evidence or explain how the record led to the conclusion. AAO directed the Director on remand to focus on what the Petitioner will be doing and consider broader implications for the engineering field rather than just the oil and gas industry.

AAO agreed that the Petitioner established substantial merit because the endeavor falls within recognized areas such as business or technology, but found that the Petitioner failed to demonstrate national importance. General field-level importance, conclusory assertions, and a business plan projecting local hiring were insufficient; the record did not show broader implications, significant potential to employ U.S.…

AAO agreed that the Petitioner established substantial merit because the endeavor falls within recognized areas such as business or technology, but found that the Petitioner failed to demonstrate national importance. General field-level importance, conclusory assertions, and a business plan projecting local hiring were insufficient; the record did not show broader implications, significant potential to employ U.S. workers, or substantial positive economic effects. Additionally, the cited executive order was revoked, weakening the federal-priority alignment argument.
AAO agreed substantial merit was established but found national importance was not. Petitioner did not show his projections were significant for the industry or that his work would extend beyond his employers, passengers, and trainees to impact the field more broadly. Support letters and industry articles did not demonstrate broader implications.
