AAO withdrew SCOPS' determination. The Hurriyet Spor Arena article was about a training camp, not about the Beneficiary, lacked an identified author, and specific circulation figures for that publication were not provided. The Milliyet article was not about the Beneficiary and only briefly quoted him; its circulation significance was not established. Website articles listed the Beneficiary among many competitors and lacked authors; none of those websites were shown to be major media. YouTube channels were not demonstrated to be major media. Much of the material also related to his athletic rather than coaching work.
AAO withdrew SCOPS' determination. The letters from the relevant federations did not define what outstanding achievements are required of members, did not explain how federations determine outstanding achievements, and did not indicate that candidates are judged by recognized national or international experts.…

AAO withdrew SCOPS' determination. The letters from the relevant federations did not define what outstanding achievements are required of members, did not explain how federations determine outstanding achievements, and did not indicate that candidates are judged by recognized national or international experts. Furthermore, national team participation as an athlete does not constitute membership in a coaching association, and the letter identifying the Beneficiary as a national team coach lacked membership requirements or details about the coaching selection process.
The Beneficiary's athletic awards were not shown to carry national or international recognition through media coverage or other attention. Moreover, his field of endeavor is coaching, and competitive awards earned as an athlete do not demonstrate excellence in coaching. His trainees' awards cannot satisfy this criterion because the Beneficiary was not the listed recipient of those awards.

AAO agreed that the Petitioner's evidence—including the opinion letter, business plan projections, and alignment with federal priorities—addressed only the importance of the home healthcare industry generally rather than the specific prospective impact of the Petitioner's proposed endeavor, which would not extend beyond her patients and trainees to impact the healthcare field or economy at a nationally important level.

AAO found prong two not met because: the Petitioner provided no employment contract or institutional statement confirming support for his research at his university; he failed to describe how he would carry out research while teaching; grant acknowledgements in published articles did not demonstrate ongoing or future funding; citation statistics were drawn from a broad mathematics field rather than his specific quantum comp…

AAO found prong two not met because: the Petitioner provided no employment contract or institutional statement confirming support for his research at his university; he failed to describe how he would carry out research while teaching; grant acknowledgements in published articles did not demonstrate ongoing or future funding; citation statistics were drawn from a broad mathematics field rather than his specific quantum computing niche; and self-citations reduced the apparent independent impact of his work.

AAO agreed with SCOPS on substantial merit, but disagreed on national importance. Upon de novo review, AAO found that the preponderance of evidence establishes national importance based on the potential impact on the field and U.S. competitiveness initiatives, supported by multiple expert letters and evidence of government resource allocation to quantum computing and AI/ML.

AAO found substantial merit established but national importance not shown: roughly half of new direct jobs would be part-time of unknown hours, 'at risk' versus 'distressed' zip-code claims and franchise agreements were not adequately substantiated, the market study did not demonstrate unmet demand, and innovation and cultural-exchange claims lacked supporting evidence.

AAO agreed the Petitioner provided varying characterizations of the endeavor across filings and inconsistent implementation pathways (continuing employment at his current employer, founding a U.S. company, or other industry employment), which prevented AAO from assessing the endeavor's prospective impact and thus its national importance.

证据为何得到认可
AAO concluded the Petitioner's intended employment is in a business-related role (ADR consultancy), which fits within the statutory field of business under section 203(b)(1)(A)(i), and rejected SCOPS' categorical exclusion of lawyers from EB-1A.
