The Petitioner submitted documentation for PMI and IEEE/PES. However, the Petitioner's IEEE card reads 'society affiliate,' which per IEEE bylaws means he is not an IEEE member. Regarding PMI, the documentation does not demonstrate that a U.S. bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent is a requirement for membership, which is required for the organization to qualify as a 'professional association' under the regulatory definition of 'profession.'
Recognition for achievements and significant contributions to the industry or field by peers, governmental entities, or professional or business organizations (8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(3)(ii)(F))
AAO 为什么未被说服
The Petitioner submitted two recommendation letters from former colleagues.

License to practice the profession or certification for a particular profession or occupation (8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(3)(ii)(C))
AAO 为什么未被说服
The Petitioner submitted PMI membership documentation, but counsel acknowledged PMI membership is not required to practice the occupation. On appeal, the Petitioner asserted PMI membership is highly desired by employers, but neither the assertions nor the record establish that PMI membership is a license to practice or a requirement for employment as a project manager.

AAO found that the industry articles addressed general supply chain and entrepreneurship topics rather than the national importance of the specific proposed endeavor. Recommendation letters spoke to the Petitioner's personal skills and prior work, which relate to the second prong, not national importance. The business plan's revenue and job projections were uncorroborated and did not demonstrate substantial positive economic effects at a national level. Generalized assertions about professional shortages also failed to establish national importance.
AAO agreed substantial merit was established but found national importance was not. The proposed endeavor of providing physical therapy to individual patients, even with specialized techniques, does not have broader implications in the field.

AAO agreed substantial merit was met but found national importance was not established. Evidence of a veterinarian shortage and the mental health crisis goes to the importance of the field generally rather than the specific endeavor, and her plan to 'explore' several possibilities does not show broad impact.

published material in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that the Petitioner failed to provide objective supporting evidence to substantiate circulation data, rankings, or visitation data for online articles, and therefore did not establish that the sources qualify as professional or major trade publications or other major media.
