The AAO found that the Petitioner's evidence showed services valuable to local communities but did not establish the prospective potential impact required for national importance. The Petitioner conflated her individual qualifications (relevant to prong two) with the endeavor's national importance (prong one), and her assertions about parallel benefits from other initiatives were unsupported by independent evidence.

AAO found that the 2011 viewership statistics predated the 2021 article by a decade and lacked comparative data to establish major media status; the article's author was not identified; the TV appearance was not adequately substantiated; and the comparable evidence argument failed because the Petitioner did not show the standard criteria do not readily apply to his occupation.

AAO withdrew the Director's determination, finding that the certificate recognizing the Petitioner for 'help in judging' at a three-day event, without additional documentation about the specifics of his judging activities, level of participants, selection process, or nature of events judged, was insufficient to satisfy the plain language of the judging criterion.
