AAO adopted and affirmed the Director's analysis. The Petitioner failed to demonstrate national-level or regional impact, did not substantiate her business plan projections (including a plan to hire 178 employees by year five), and the record lacked evidence that the company was even formed at the time of filing. While the record indicates the endeavor has substantial merit, national importance was not established.

The record does not demonstrate that the Petitioner's titulo de bacharel program required four years of postsecondary study. The prior coursework at another institution was shown only as entrance exam preparation, not as transferred credit toward a four-year degree. The GEO credential evaluation failed to reconcile three and a half years of study with a four-year equivalency and contradicted its own cited EDGE authority.

AAO found the proposed endeavor has substantial merit (disagreeing with the Director on that sub-point) but agreed national importance was not established. The Petitioner provided only general notions of national impact and failed to show how his specific business serving regional clients would have broader national implications. Business plan projections lacked sufficient detail and explanation.

While the evidence may be insufficient to demonstrate national importance, the Director's analysis was largely conclusory, misidentified the Petitioner's proposed endeavor as IT consulting rather than aviation, and failed to address the Petitioner's arguments about federal initiatives, STEM advancement, and broader aviation implications that the Director had itself instructed the Petitioner to address in the RFE.

AAO 为什么未被说服
