AAO agreed that the Petitioner established substantial merit but failed to demonstrate national importance, because the submitted evidence — reports, advisory opinion, and reference letters — addressed the importance of nursing generally or the Petitioner's past performance, not the specific prospective national impact of her proposed endeavor. The Schedule A nursing designation by DOL also did not support a finding of national importance in the NIW context.
AAO agreed that the Petitioner failed to show national importance, noting the submitted articles discussed the importance of the privacy field generally but did not address the Petitioner's specific endeavor or its prospective impact.…

AAO agreed that the Petitioner failed to show national importance, noting the submitted articles discussed the importance of the privacy field generally but did not address the Petitioner's specific endeavor or its prospective impact. AAO further found that working in an important field does not itself establish national importance, and the Petitioner did not specify how his consultancy would extend beyond individual clients to impact privacy law and regulation more broadly.
AAO agreed with the Director. The Petitioner's evidence—including patent applications (not approved patents), expert evaluations restating his general claims, recommendation letters focused on his technical competencies, and general industry articles—did not sufficiently document the prospective impact of his proposed endeavor.…

AAO agreed with the Director. The Petitioner's evidence—including patent applications (not approved patents), expert evaluations restating his general claims, recommendation letters focused on his technical competencies, and general industry articles—did not sufficiently document the prospective impact of his proposed endeavor. General statements about improving manufacturing and benefiting the economy were insufficient to establish national importance.
member of the professions holding an advanced degree
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO disagreed with the Director, finding that while the Petitioner has the equivalent of an advanced degree, he did not show his intended goldsmith occupation requires a bachelor's degree as a minimum entry requirement. O*NET data indicates the occupation requires only vocational training or an associate's degree.

The AAO agreed the Petitioner established substantial merit (the environmental sustainability field is important), but found he failed to demonstrate national importance of his specific proposed endeavor. Evidence showed general importance of the field and industry rather than how the Petitioner's day-to-day consulting operations would have broader implications or substantial positive economic effects at a national level.

AAO agreed that while the Petitioner's skills and expertise are relevant, evidence of her abilities goes to the second Dhanasar prong, not the first. The record failed to establish that her specific proposed endeavor — as opposed to the importance of digital marketing generally — had national implications, significant potential to employ U.S. workers, or substantial positive economic effects.…

The record failed to establish that her specific proposed endeavor — as opposed to the importance of digital marketing generally — had national implications, significant potential to employ U.S. workers, or substantial positive economic effects. The company had not been formed, financial specifics were unresolved, the commitment letter lacked specificity on investment amount, and expressions of interest from U.S. entities did not constitute contractual commitments or investment funds.
AAO declined to conduct a final merits analysis given the contradictory and incomplete nature of the Director's decision, and remanded for a full reconsideration of the entire record.
