AAO found that 58 citations and journal impact factor alone do not demonstrate major significance, the Petitioner's unsupported claims about being in the top 2 percentile lacked probative evidence, the self-compiled list of notable citations could not be assessed without the actual articles, and the published commentary about his 2015 article acknowledged only novelty and need for further study rather than a demonstrated ma…

AAO found that 58 citations and journal impact factor alone do not demonstrate major significance, the Petitioner's unsupported claims about being in the top 2 percentile lacked probative evidence, the self-compiled list of notable citations could not be assessed without the actual articles, and the published commentary about his 2015 article acknowledged only novelty and need for further study rather than a demonstrated major impact on clinical practice. The Petitioner's own assertions about changing treatment protocols were not corroborated by independent objective evidence.
AAO found that while the Petitioner holds a relevant Ph.D. (an especially positive factor), most citations were self-citations or co-author citations with limited independent citations; peer review participation was not shown to be a record of success; no government funding was demonstrated; no evidence of interest from prospective U.S.…

AAO adopted and affirmed the Director's analysis, finding the Petitioner's proposed startup incubator advising did not extend sufficiently beyond his direct clientele to impact broader fields at the level of national importance. The Petitioner failed to demonstrate significant economic employment potential or substantial positive economic effects, and evidence about unrelated entities' financial performance was insufficient to demonstrate national-level impact.
AAO finds the Petitioner conflates her qualifications (a prong-2 inquiry) with the prong-1 inquiry into the endeavor's prospective impact. The staffing projections lack evidence-based justification, the claimed indirect jobs are unsupported, and the financial projections lack corroboration and do not show substantial positive economic impact at a national-importance level.
