AAO disagreed with the Director and found that the recommendation and support letters, organizational chart, and published material about the organizations' distinguished reputations collectively demonstrated that the Petitioner performed in a leading or critical role.
AAO agreed the Beneficiary's proposed endeavor lacks national importance. The recommendation letters mainly spoke to the Beneficiary's technical competencies and his value to the Petitioner and its customers rather than to prospective impact on the broader field. The expert evaluation addressed the importance of software engineering generally without focusing on the Beneficiary's specific endeavor.…

AAO agreed the Beneficiary's proposed endeavor lacks national importance. The recommendation letters mainly spoke to the Beneficiary's technical competencies and his value to the Petitioner and its customers rather than to prospective impact on the broader field. The expert evaluation addressed the importance of software engineering generally without focusing on the Beneficiary's specific endeavor. The Petitioner did not demonstrate novel innovations, broader field implications, or a sufficiently direct evidentiary tie between the Beneficiary's work and claimed national economic results.
AAO agrees the endeavor lacks national importance: it serves non-essential goods, the projected staffing of 5-16 employees is insufficient, and revenue projections are unsupported by objective data. AAO notes the Director's 'overall impact on the economy' language was ambiguous and that past-success evidence is more appropriate to prong 2, but does not find these issues prejudiced the appeal.

AAO disagreed with the Director's basis for rejection, finding the Parliamentary Assistant III role was an appropriate comparator to journalism positions since it requires journalist registration and performs journalism-type duties. However, AAO ultimately found the criterion not met because the Petitioner's total remuneration (including bonuses and benefits) was not demonstrably high compared to journalist peers, and his base salary alone was not high compared to other journalists.
The book lacks evidence of citations, widespread commentary, or broad distribution (only 1,000 copies printed) to establish major significance in journalism or historical documentation. Automotive journalism articles, while reaching a regional audience, do not rise to major significance in the field. Recommendation letters offer general praise but do not identify specific contributions of major significance.

AAO agreed that judging vehicles in different categories does not involve judging the work of other individuals working in the Petitioner's field (journalism) or an allied field. The juries evaluate features and performance of vehicles, not the work of journalists or automotive industry professionals.

published material in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
The Folha de Sao Paulo article only credits the Petitioner for photographs and is not 'about' him. The Jornal Votura articles, while about the Petitioner and related to journalism, lack evidence that the publication qualifies as major media—its social media following alone is insufficient to establish major media status.

While the Petitioner's research area has substantial merit, he failed to provide sufficient specifics about his particular proposed endeavor to establish national importance. Expert letters praised his past accomplishments but only vaguely referenced his future plans. The Petitioner's arguments addressed the importance of quantum computing broadly, not the national importance of his specific work.…

Expert letters praised his past accomplishments but only vaguely referenced his future plans. The Petitioner's arguments addressed the importance of quantum computing broadly, not the national importance of his specific work. Footnote 3 clarifies that the Petitioner's arguments related to the substantial merit aspect rather than the national importance aspect.
AAO found the Director conflated substantial merit with national importance, applied incorrect standards, and made a finding not supported by the record (regarding a researcher shortage the Petitioner never argued). AAO reserved resolution of the prong and remanded for a proper analysis.

AAO found the Director failed entirely to analyze the enumerated factors of the third prong, rendering meaningful appellate review impossible, and remanded for a proper third-prong analysis.
