AAO agreed that the endeavor has substantial merit but lacks national importance. The Petitioner's projected staffing and revenues do not demonstrate substantial positive economic effects, and she failed to show the endeavor would impact the financial or accounting industries broadly, or that it would offer substantial economic benefits beyond her clientele.

AAO agreed the location change was a material change relevant to the substantial positive economic effects analysis, so new facts could not be relied upon to establish eligibility. Even considering the revised plan, it did not establish national importance — the business plan's own market analysis contradicted the location selection rationale, and the Petitioner failed to identify what in the plan established national impor…

on balance, beneficial to waive the job offer requirement
AAO 为什么未被说服

AAO agreed the Petitioner's submitted articles and reports provided only general background on the healthcare industry without specifically addressing her proposed endeavor's potential prospective impact. Economic claims were too attenuated and unsupported, and the Petitioner did not adequately explain what made her technology innovative or distinct from existing software. Alignment with national priorities is insufficient absent a direct evidentiary tie between the specific endeavor and claimed impacts.

AAO agreed with the Director that the totality of evidence did not establish that the Petitioner possessed sustained national or international acclaim or was one of the small percentage at the top of the acting field. Awards were received years before filing, film roles were primarily supporting, theater venue was not shown to be elite, media coverage was largely in outlets of limited reach, and judging activity did not appreciably contribute to her acclaim.
AAO found the post-filing letters from U.S. companies inadmissible to establish eligibility at the time of filing, and even those letters lacked sufficient detail. The consulting firm's report showed the UK projects were largely in development stages with speculative projections, and the record lacked a specific business model or plan for future U.S. activities.

AAO found the description of the Petitioner's proposed endeavor ambiguous and lacking specific goals, funding plans, and institutional commitments. AAO noted that while financial technologies are nationally important as a field, the Petitioner failed to articulate how his specific research would achieve national-level prospective impact, rendering general assertions about job creation and economic growth insufficient.

AAO found that the Petitioner's evidence focused on the importance of the industries generally and STEM employment broadly, not on the specific prospective impact of his proposed endeavor. The expert opinion letter and reference letters did not provide sufficient analytical support for a finding of national importance, and the record did not establish that the endeavor stands to substantially impact the field at a level commensurate with national importance.
