AAO agreed that the proposed endeavor's impact would not extend sufficiently beyond the company and its clientele to affect the broader field or U.S. economy. Revenue and staffing projections were unsupported, evidence about the financial advising field generally does not establish the national importance of the specific endeavor, and the Petitioner's personal qualifications are relevant only to prong two, not prong one.

The AAO found the business plan's job and revenue projections lacked sufficient explanatory basis and were not of a scale rising to national importance. The Petitioner also did not show her endeavor would have implications beyond her local area of operations, meaningfully reduce the national physical therapist shortage, or impact the field of physical therapy more broadly.

AAO found that although the Petitioner's clinical skills are extensive, he failed to show how his treatment of individual patients or use of established techniques would impact ophthalmology or the eyecare industry more broadly in a manner commensurate with national importance. His publications lacked evidence of citations or influence on the field, his colleague letters attested to his use but not development of techniques, and his expert letter addressed healthcare workforce issues generally rather than the national impact of his specific proposed endeavor.
Five years of progressive post-degree experience in the specialty
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the employer letters confirmed employment but lacked detail on duties and responsibilities, making it impossible to conclude the work met the regulatory requirements; other support letters did not clearly establish timeframes, employer affiliations, or continuous progressive experience.

Advanced degree or equivalent (U.S. bachelor's + 5 years progressive experience)
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO agreed the transcript showed five semesters, not four years, of study. The credential evaluations were given limited weight because the first did not explain its methodology and the second incorrectly treated all bacharel degrees as equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's without accounting for three-year programs. The credit-hour argument was unsubstantiated by any institutional source.

AAO agrees: the judging, publication, leading-role, award, press, contribution, and remuneration evidence individually and collectively fail to demonstrate sustained acclaim or very-top-of-field status.

AAO agreed with the Director that the Petitioner failed to establish national importance. The evidence did not show skills differing from those already available in the U.S., no broader implications beyond the Petitioner's own clients, and the business plan did not show significant potential to employ U.S. workers or positive economic effects at a national level.
