AAO agreed the field of accounting has substantial merit but found the national importance prong not established. The Petitioner's assertions about economic benefits were insufficiently detailed or probative, worker shortages are addressed by the labor certification process, and merely working in an important field does not satisfy national importance.

AAO found the Director improperly limited the national importance analysis to employment and economic effects, when those are not the only relevant factors. The Petitioner's STEM research on supply chain transportation resiliency aligns with documented White House R&D priorities and has broader implications for the field through dissemination in journals and conferences.

AAO found that while the Beneficiary's work has substantial merit, the evidence does not demonstrate that it will have a broader impact on the home loan or AI/ML fields beyond the Petitioner's company and its customers. Articles discussed field-level importance rather than the Beneficiary's specific work; letters of support lacked sufficient factual basis; and the Petitioner's market share argument conflated company size with national importance of the specific endeavor.

The AAO agreed that the endeavor has substantial merit but affirmed that the Petitioner failed to show national importance. The recommendation letters addressed his personal qualifications rather than the broader impact of his endeavor, and the industry reports did not connect his specific proposed work to overcoming pilot shortages or broader economic impact.

None of the evidence indicated the Petitioner worked on a full-time basis. An employment letter from his previous employer did not describe his job duties, and flight logs did not specify the duties performed or confirm full-time status.
