AAO agreed with the Director that, while the endeavor has substantial merit, the Petitioner failed to show national importance. The business plan's revenue forecasts ($972K–$1.35M) and projected 3 new jobs by year 5 were unsupported and too modest and locally focused to demonstrate broader national economic impact. Client letters addressed prior project-level accomplishments rather than broader field impact.

Client letters addressed prior project-level accomplishments rather than broader field impact.
AAO agreed the Petitioner showed substantial merit but not national importance. The proposed veterinary clinic lacked evidence of prospective impact beyond its own clientele, the revenue projections were inconsistent and unsupported, the employment projections lacked evidentiary basis, and the general benefits of the veterinary field are not a substitute for demonstrating the specific proposed endeavor's national importance.

AAO found that the Petitioner submitted insufficient and inconsistent evidence regarding the substantive nature of the proposed endeavor. The conflicting statements, unaddressed contradictions, and material change to the business plan between the initial filing and RFE response resulted in unresolved inconsistencies that precluded a finding of substantial merit and national importance.

U.S. advanced degree or foreign equivalent (or U.S. bachelor's plus 5 years progressive experience)
AAO 为什么未被说服
The Venezuelan technician certificate represents only 2-3 years of study per EDGE, and the engineer title was not shown to be a 'Professional Title' equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's, particularly as it was awarded only two years after the technician title. No probative evidence demonstrated completion of the Spanish master's program.

The Petitioner's evidence focused on her own qualifications (relevant to prong 2) and on the prosthetics industry generally rather than the prospective impact of her specific endeavor. The business plan's projections, hiring assertions, and investment claims lacked corroborating evidence of broader implications, employment of U.S. workers, or substantial positive economic effects.
