AAO concluded the endeavor has substantial merit but lacks national importance because petitioner did not show her work as a single veterinarian in an individual clinic would have impact extending beyond her immediate clients. Claims about economic effects, the veterinarian shortage, training, and her novel technique were vague, unquantified, or unsupported by evidence of broader dissemination or impact. Letters focused on her expertise (relevant to prong 2) rather than the proposed endeavor's broader implications.

AAO found that the credential evaluation bore no evidentiary weight because it did not accord with the Petitioner's academic transcript, which showed gaps in coursework and missing grades. Additionally, even if the degree were accepted as equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree, the record did not establish five years of progressive post-baccalaureate specialty experience.

AAO found the Petitioner had not demonstrated national importance under Dhanasar. The general articles on minority-owned businesses were not specific to the Petitioner's endeavor; the business plan's claims about opportunity zone activity lacked sufficient foundation; and the prospective economic impacts were not demonstrated to extend beyond the Petitioner's immediate clientele.
