AAO found that the new evidence did not establish that the Petitioner's specific proposed work has national importance.

AAO found that the new evidence did not establish that the Petitioner's specific proposed work has national importance. Documents about the broader steel industry did not speak to the specific endeavor she proposes, and the new letter from her graduate advisor illustrated only past research accomplishment without detailing the capacity in which she proposes to conduct future research or consulting. The Petitioner's own affidavit similarly lacked sufficient explanation of how she intends to carry out the research or how it fits with her engineering duties.
AAO noted that even if the Petitioner had demonstrated she would primarily be engaged in metallurgy research with broader implications, she had not established she would be well positioned to advance such a research endeavor under prong 2. The motion to reopen did not present sufficient evidence to overcome that finding.
