AAO agreed the endeavor has substantial merit (disagreeing with SCOPS on that sub-point) but found the national importance prong unmet, as evidence focused on the importance of the field generally rather than the specific prospective impact of the Petitioner's work. Citation data and support letters did not sufficiently document the broader national implications of his specific research.

AAO agreed with SCOPS that substantial merit was shown but national importance was not. The Petitioner's evidence largely consisted of articles about U.S. interest in addressing stigma generally, not specific to her endeavor, and her proposed work lacked operational specificity (no plan, timeline, or metrics).

AAO agreed that while advancing voice biometric authentication through AI/ML has substantial merit, merely working in an important field is insufficient to establish national importance. The industry report did not detail the Petitioner's specific contributions, the letters of interest and employment records are more relevant to prong two than prong one, and the economic projections lacked sufficient detail to demonstrate substantial positive economic effects at a national scale. Alignment with government initiatives alone is also insufficient.
AAO agreed the endeavor has substantial merit (withdrawing the Director's contrary finding) but concluded it lacks national importance. The business plan projections were insufficiently detailed, and the Petitioner's claims of broad impact were unsupported assertions. Aligning with national initiatives or operating in an important field does not establish national importance of the specific endeavor.

The Titulo de Especialista reflects only one year of graduate study and is not equivalent to a U.S. master's degree.

AAO agreed that the Petitioner failed to demonstrate national importance. The personal statements did not show broader implications in the security sector, he failed to identify specific government partners or the geographic area of operation, recommendation letters lacked sufficient corroborating detail, and the advisory letter focused on past accomplishments rather than the specific proposed endeavor.
