AAO disagreed with the director on substantial merit, finding that part satisfied, but agreed the Petitioner failed to establish national importance. Colleague letters praised past work but did not address the specific proposed endeavor's impact on the field. The expert letter discussed the importance of financial technology generally but did not specify how the Petitioner's work would extend beyond his prospective employer or clients. General industry articles and STEM policy documents addressed the field's importance, not the specific endeavor's prospective impact.
AAO adopted and affirmed the Director's analysis, finding no error in the determination that the national importance standard had not been met. AAO also rejected the Petitioner's claims that the Director applied a stricter standard of proof or improperly required a labor certification.

Industry articles addressed the field generally but not the prospective impact of the Petitioner's specific endeavor.…

AAO agreed the Petitioner failed to establish national importance. The business plan's projected employment of 14–45 workers and 90 indirect jobs was not shown to be significant relative to an industry employing 164,848 people. Industry articles addressed the field generally but not the prospective impact of the Petitioner's specific endeavor. Letters of recommendation praised past achievements but did not address the proposed endeavor. The expert letter cited projections from the business plan without explaining how the endeavor would extend beyond individual clients to impact societal welfare at a national level.
