AAO agreed with the Director that the Petitioner conflated the importance of the financial services field with the specific prospective impact of his individual endeavor. The business plan's projection of 14 full-time employees and four non-binding letters of intent were insufficient to establish substantial positive economic effects or significant job creation at a national level.

AAO agreed that the Petitioner's proposed endeavor does not sufficiently extend beyond his future clients to impact the industry or field more broadly at a level commensurate with national importance. The relevant inquiry is the specific endeavor's broader implications, not the importance of logistics as an industry.

The AAO found that reliance on the pilot shortage and aviation industry importance does not establish national importance for an individual flight instructor's work. The Petitioner did not show his endeavor's prospective impact extends beyond his individual students and employer, and his proposed training of 80 pilots per year at a single flight school does not rise to the level of national importance under Dhanasar.

AAO adopted and affirmed the Director's ultimate determination on national importance. AAO found the Director provided adequate analysis and that, even if some evidence was not individually discussed, the Petitioner showed no prejudice from those omissions and did not demonstrate how the unaddressed documents established eligibility.

AAO agreed that although the Petitioner's work has substantial merit, the record did not demonstrate national importance because the evidence focused on the importance of the field rather than the specific prospective impact of the Petitioner's particular endeavor.…

AAO agreed that although the Petitioner's work has substantial merit, the record did not demonstrate national importance because the evidence focused on the importance of the field rather than the specific prospective impact of the Petitioner's particular endeavor.

AAO agreed with the Director that the Petitioner's evidence about the importance of project management as a field did not satisfy the requirement to show national importance of his specific proposed endeavor.…

AAO agreed with the Director that the Petitioner's evidence about the importance of project management as a field did not satisfy the requirement to show national importance of his specific proposed endeavor. The record did not demonstrate that his company would provide substantial economic benefits or meaningfully impact job creation and economic growth regionally or nationally, and lacked evidence of secured investment funds.
AAO found the business plan lacked supporting details for its employment projections, that the Petitioner's personal experience was relevant to the second prong rather than the first, that industry-wide importance of IT does not establish the national importance of the specific proposed endeavor, and that the expert letter offered only speculation without persuasive detail about broader impact.

AAO agreed the endeavor lacked national importance. The submitted evidence addressed the general importance of the field and the Petitioner's personal skills (relevant to prong two), not the specific endeavor's national-scale impact. The business plan projected only 24 employees over five years, lacked evidence of outside investment or contractual commitments, and did not demonstrate substantial regional or national economic impact.
AAO agreed with the Director that national importance was not established. The Petitioner's assertions were conclusory and unsupported, her endeavor was not shown to have broader implications beyond her prospective patients, and merely working in an important field is insufficient to establish national importance.

AAO concluded the Petitioner's evidence and arguments on motion did not show error in its prior conclusion that the specific proposed endeavor lacks national importance. The expert letters restated existing claims without additional analysis, and the industry-level evidence improperly focused on the importance of the field rather than the specific endeavor.
