AAO agreed with the Director that the Petitioner failed to demonstrate national importance. The Petitioner's economic projections lacked supporting probative evidence, and his generalized claims relying on third-party market documentation did not identify a specific national impact. His endeavor lacked the 'substantial positive economic effects' required under Dhanasar.

final merits determination — sustained acclaim and top of field
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO agreed with the Director that the totality of the evidence — including the Petitioner's framing of his field as nanofluid engineering, his two publications, his approximately 2,400 total citations, and his peer-review activity that ceased around 2015 — does not establish sustained national or international acclaim or top-of-field status.

AAO agreed substantial merit was shown (health), but the Petitioner's reliance on the importance of the ergonomics industry misapplies Dhanasar; her business plan and projections lacked sufficient evidentiary tie to substantial positive economic effects, job creation, or impact in an economically depressed area.

AAO agreed that while the Petitioner's endeavor has substantial merit, the record lacks sufficient evidence to show that the prospective impact rises to the level of national importance. The importance of the surveying profession or the construction industry generally does not establish national importance of the specific proposed endeavor, and the Petitioner did not sufficiently demonstrate how his work would extend beyond his clients to enhance societal welfare or create substantial positive economic effects on a broad national scale.
AAO found that while the proposed consultancy might provide valuable services to individual clients, projecting only five direct jobs without sufficient explanation for projections and without showing impact beyond the business's local area of operations was insufficient to establish national importance. The Petitioner did not demonstrate broader implications for the overall fields of business or IT.

AAO concludes the evidence focuses on Petitioner's qualifications (relevant to prong two) rather than the endeavor's broader prospective impact, and that revenue/employment projections, HUBZone claims, multiplier effects, tax contributions, and STEM characterization lack corroborating evidence of national-level impact.

AAO held that the Petitioner's evidence was largely about his personal qualifications and experience, which are relevant to the second prong but not the first. The Petitioner did not show that his specific proposed endeavor—working as a marketing specialist—has broader implications, significant potential to employ U.S. workers, or substantial positive economic effects rising to national importance.

AAO adopted and affirmed the Director's thorough evaluation of the national importance element. AAO also found the Petitioner had abandoned the issue on appeal by reproducing the identical RFE text, and on motion the Petitioner made only vague assertions of error without demonstrating incorrect application of law or policy.
