AAO agreed the endeavor has substantial merit but found the Petitioner failed to demonstrate national importance. The clinic's modest projected revenue ($601,596) and staffing (six employees by year five) did not show significant potential to employ U.S. workers or substantial positive economic effects, and the record lacked evidence that the endeavor's impact would extend beyond the Petitioner's patients to affect the field at a national level.
The AAO agreed that the Petitioner had not shown national importance. Evidence of credentials and industry shortages addressed the second prong, not the first; references to HUBZone status were unsubstantiated in terms of federal contracts or broader economic impact; and the Petitioner's claims of job creation and economic impact were unsupported by probative evidence.

AAO finds the Petitioner's renewed arguments do not show legal or policy error: arguments about education and expertise relate to prong two; the business plan and articles were already considered and do not show national importance of his specific endeavor; and projections about employment growth lack supporting evidence regarding his firm.

AAO found the Director erred by misidentifying the proposed endeavor as simply working as a researcher in inorganic chemistry, rather than the specific research into renewable energy and nanomaterials described by the Petitioner. The Director listed submitted documents without meaningful analysis and thus did not properly evaluate national importance. AAO remanded for a full analysis of the specific proposed endeavor.

AAO reaffirmed that the proposed endeavor lacked specificity and that the Petitioner failed to show national importance, finding that recommendation letters and industry data discussed the importance of the field rather than the broader impact of his specific endeavor, and that examples of past performance go to prong two rather than prong one.

AAO found the new evidence did not demonstrate the broader implications of the proposed endeavor at a level of national importance. The documentation corroborating the dissemination strategy and regional focus fell short of showing national-level impact on the hospice and palliative care field or the U.S. economy.
