AAO found that the Petitioner's evidence of credentials and colleague support addresses his personal qualifications (second prong), not the national importance of the proposed endeavor.

AAO agreed the RFE response was a material change from employee to entrepreneur, and therefore the new proposed endeavor could not establish eligibility. Even if considered, the Petitioner's vague consultancy proposal lacked a business plan, specific clients, or identified base of operations sufficient to establish national importance.

The AAO reaffirmed its prior conclusion that the record does not sufficiently explain how the Petitioner's cybersecurity and IT governance services would broadly implicate their respective fields, and thus does not rise to the level of national importance under Dhanasar.

AAO found that the RFE business plan constituted an impermissible material change to the proposed endeavor, independently precluding evaluation under Dhanasar. Even if the new plan merely clarified the original, the record still lacked evidence that the endeavor had broader national implications — the business plans were speculative and uncorroborated, industry reports addressed general STEAM education importance rather tha…

Even if the new plan merely clarified the original, the record still lacked evidence that the endeavor had broader national implications — the business plans were speculative and uncorroborated, industry reports addressed general STEAM education importance rather than the specific endeavor, and there was no evidence that the Petitioner's methods would be adopted by or impact the broader industry.
