Final merits determination — sustained national or international acclaim
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO reviewed the aggregate record and found it does not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim or that the petitioner is among the small percentage at the very top of the field. The formal Kazarian step-2 analysis was reserved, but AAO made the equivalent finding as an alternate basis.

The four recommendation letters praised the petitioner's work but limited its significance to his employers rather than demonstrating impact on the overall field. The letters did not elaborate on how employer-level projects translated into contributions of major significance in the broader field, and AAO found them to be primarily conclusory.

The AAO found that while the Petitioner cited broad national topics and initiatives, he failed to demonstrate how his specific entrepreneurial endeavor in the Florida area would have broader implications rising to the level of national importance. The business plan's revenue projections ($184K year 1 to $1.2M year 5) and employment projections (4 to 14 positions) were unsubstantiated and not shown to provide substantial positive economic effects nationally or regionally. The new evidence submitted on appeal was not considered because the Petitioner had prior notice and opportunity to submit it.

AAO found that the Petitioner's varying descriptions of his endeavor and unsupported assertions about protecting consumers, creating jobs, and generating economic impact were insufficient to show that his specific proposed work would have prospective impact rising to the level of national importance, as opposed to merely working in an important field.

The AAO found the Petitioner's credential evaluation conflicted with AACRAO EDGE, which characterizes her professional degree as comparable to only two to two-and-a-half years of U.S. post-secondary study rather than a full four-year bachelor's degree. The unresolved conflict in the record prevented the AAO from confirming the equivalency claim.

The AAO agreed the proposed endeavor lacked national importance. While finding substantial merit, it concluded the business plan's projections (five jobs, $700K in salaries, $1.8M in tax revenue over five years) were insufficiently supported and did not rise to national importance.…

The AAO agreed the proposed endeavor lacked national importance. While finding substantial merit, it concluded the business plan's projections (five jobs, $700K in salaries, $1.8M in tax revenue over five years) were insufficiently supported and did not rise to national importance. Advisory opinions focused on field importance rather than the specific endeavor's prospective impact, and alignment with government sustainability initiatives alone was insufficient without quantifying the endeavor's specific prospective impact.
