AAO agrees with the Director that the new documentation (2023 offer letter, 2023 pay statements, and a recommendation letter discussing post-filing contributions at a 2023 employer) reflects facts that arose after the filing date. The two recommendation letters about pre-filing work were vague, conclusory, and failed to demonstrate original contributions of major significance.

AAO found that the Petitioner's job offers of up to $150,904 exceeded the top-10% threshold for network and computer systems administrators in his metropolitan area per O*NET data. The O*NET data was both geographically and position-appropriate, and articles indicated that pharmaceutical-sector workers in the field earn less than high-tech workers used in the comparison, making the comparison conservative.

AAO agreed that the Petitioner's evidence addressed the importance of the medical field broadly rather than the specific endeavor she proposes. The relevant question under Dhanasar is whether the specific proposed endeavor has national importance, not whether the profession itself is important. The Petitioner's work would not extend beyond her employers and patients to impact the field more broadly.
