AAO found the Petitioner's reliance on his credentials and experience addressed prong two rather than prong one, which requires showing the specific endeavor's prospective impact. The record lacked competent evidence that his training methods were recognized by the industry at large or had significant economic impact, and no financial or employment projections were provided to support claims of broader economic benefit.

Advanced degree or foreign equivalent qualification
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the 3-year Mexican military pilot degree was not shown to be equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree because no independent evaluation was submitted and EDGE indicates a 3-year Mexican degree equates to only three years of U.S. university study. The Honduran MBA diploma lacked a transcript or independent evaluation, so its claimed master's-level equivalency could not be verified.

AAO agrees the endeavor has substantial merit but not national importance: the Petitioner relied on the broader industry's importance rather than her specific endeavor's prospective impact, the linked articles were not provided in printed form, the impact would be limited to direct employers, and her teaching activities do not broadly impact the field (citing Dhanasar's own teaching example).

AAO agreed the endeavor has substantial merit but found Petitioner failed to show broader implications beyond his clients or substantial positive economic effects rising to national importance; projections lacked sufficient corroborating detail and conflated industry importance with the specific endeavor.

AAO found that the Petitioner had not established by a preponderance of the evidence that his methodology provides a new or unique approach that will lead to improved manufacturing processes or other nationally important outcomes. The changing description of the methodology limited assessment of its potential prospective impact, and the Petitioner appeared to have adopted existing tools (PMBOK, DMAIC, PDCA) rather than developing a novel methodology. General arguments about affordable housing and construction industry waste were not accompanied by evidence of particularized national economic impact.
The letters showed the Beneficiary was invited to give master classes and provide advice, suggestions, and critiques, but did not demonstrate actual participation as a judge of the work of others. The letters lacked specifics about who, when, and what was judged.

Because the regulation requires documentation of the alien's receipt of prizes or awards, and the Beneficiary never individually received any awards, the criterion is not met. The record also showed that individual contributors can be named in game awards, undermining the ensemble-work argument.

The Petitioner made unsupported assertions about the publications' rankings without providing corroborating evidence, so it failed to demonstrate that any digital or hardcover publication qualifies as a professional or major trade publication or other major media.

The comparative salary evidence was not pertaining to the Beneficiary's specific occupation as an 'Environment Concept Art Lead.' The Beneficiary's lead-level position with broader responsibilities requires comparison to other environment concept art leads, not to special effects artists, animators, or concept artists.
