AAO found the Petitioner failed to demonstrate how his trucking business would impact the field more broadly beyond its clients on a nationally important level. The expert letter made conclusory statements without sufficient basis, and the business plan's financial projections were unsupported and insufficient to show substantial positive economic effects on a national scale.

AAO agreed that while the field of renewable energy has national importance, the Petitioner did not provide probative evidence—such as expert letters or government interest documents—specific to his proposed endeavor. The submitted articles about national energy initiatives did not mention the Petitioner's company or explain how it would have national-scale impact beyond its direct clients.

AAO agrees substantial merit is established but finds the record fails to show that the Petitioner's work as a business manager would impact her field more broadly beyond individual employing companies. Support letters praise her past work but do not address national-level impact, economic effects beyond individual businesses, or cultural enrichment.

AAO found that the Petitioner's qualifications and experience are relevant to prong 2 but not prong 1, which focuses on the prospective impact of the specific endeavor itself.

Working as a commercial pilot does not show sufficient impact beyond the Petitioner's employers to reach national importance, and the pilot shortage does not render the endeavor nationally important under Dhanasar since that is addressed through the labor certification process.
AAO agreed the Petitioner failed to demonstrate national importance. Her claims of broad economic impact and job creation were unsupported by evidence showing her endeavor would extend beyond her individual employers and clients. A shortage of business managers does not confer national importance, and the Petitioner's qualifications and experience are relevant to prong two, not prong one.

AAO found the Petitioner failed to show broader implications for her field beyond her individual patients. She did not adequately explain how she would educate the population or how many individuals would receive training, and her job-creation and training claims lacked probative detail. AAO also rejected the healthcare-shortage argument as insufficient by itself to establish national importance.

The Petitioner's prior work in military and police roles was largely unrelated to the CEO and entrepreneurial duties of running a transportation security company. His existing logistics company lacked supporting documentation of its activities or accomplishments. The record contained no contracts, customer interest, investment documentation, or other evidence of concrete progress toward the proposed endeavor.
