AAO withdrew the Director's determination, finding that the combination of two separate Brazilian degrees does not satisfy the single-source foreign equivalent degree requirement, and that even if it did, the Petitioner lacked the requisite five years of post-degree progressive experience. The issue was nonetheless reserved as non-dispositive.

The issue was nonetheless reserved as non-dispositive.
AAO agreed the Petitioner established substantial merit but not national importance. Relying on the importance of the field or the customer base served is insufficient; the focus must be on the broader implications of the specific proposed endeavor.…

AAO agreed the Petitioner established substantial merit but not national importance. Relying on the importance of the field or the customer base served is insufficient; the focus must be on the broader implications of the specific proposed endeavor. The Petitioner's projected benefits to her clients would not result in broader implications to the field, and her employment and revenue projections lacked evidentiary basis and did not explain how they would impact the area of intended operations at a nationally significant scale.
AAO found that the Petitioner's original proposed endeavor — working as a civil engineer within a U.S. company — did not demonstrate prospective national importance. The shift to establishing and directing a construction company represented a material change in the fundamental character of the endeavor that could not retroactively establish eligibility.

The AAO adopted and affirmed the Director's conclusion, finding that the Petitioner's endeavor does not sufficiently extend beyond her company and its clientele to impact the industry more broadly. The AAO noted that the relevant inquiry is the specific proposed endeavor, not the importance of public relations work generally, and that the Petitioner failed to show broader national implications or significant positive economic effects.
AAO focused on the specific consulting endeavor rather than the importance of the industry generally, finding that the Petitioner failed to show her services would have implications beyond a specific company, school, or clientele, and did not demonstrate the scale or mechanism of any potential economic impact.
