The certified translations submitted by the Petitioner were for an unrelated document, not the diplomas. Even if proper translations had been submitted, the diplomas would still be insufficient because the record does not show that any of the three diplomas are from an institution of learning or relate to the Petitioner's area of exceptional ability as a security management specialist.

Final merits determination — sustained national or international acclaim
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO agreed with the Director that the Petitioner failed to maintain a sustained level of national or international acclaim after relocating to the United States. The record showed a seven-to-eight-year gap in competitive achievement, explanations about the pandemic were insufficient, and post-petition employment lacked documented accolades.

While AAO agreed the endeavor has substantial merit, it found the Petitioner failed to show national importance because the evidence addressed the general importance of her field rather than the specific prospective impact of her proposed endeavor. Her business plan projections lacked substantiation, her letters of support addressed personal qualifications, the expert opinion letter conflated the importance of the profession with the importance of the specific endeavor, and her arguments about worker shortages and federal alignment were unsupported by evidence of scale.
AAO agrees substantial merit is shown but finds national importance is not. The proposed endeavor's outcomes would benefit only the Petitioner and her clients, not the broader field; her past achievements relate to prong two, and reference letters do not address broader implications.

AAO agreed the Petitioner failed to demonstrate national importance. The record lacked corroborating evidence that the endeavor's prospective impact—beyond benefitting the Petitioner's own customers—rises to national importance. The Petitioner's unsubstantiated revenue and job-creation projections did not distinguish his endeavor from other IT education entrepreneurs, and his personal qualifications and experience are material to the second prong, not the first.
Letters praised the Beneficiary's work but did not identify a specific original contribution of major significance to the field. Show house participation and magazine publication showed high regard but not field-wide impact.

AAO found the evidence of the Beneficiary's website pages was incomplete and failed to show that formal judging does not readily apply to residential interior designers. Even assuming inapplicability, the Beneficiary's promotional and advocacy activity at trade shows was not comparable to judging the work of others in the field.

AAO found the commercially-sourced salary data unreliable due to wide disparity and lack of methodology information, and relied only on BLS data. Even accepting the bottom of the Beneficiary's salary range as above the BLS mean, this showed only a salary somewhat above average, not a high salary as required.

The AAO agreed the endeavor has substantial merit but found the Petitioner failed to show national importance. The evidence relied on the general significance of cybersecurity rather than demonstrating the specific prospective national impact of her consultancy, and the business plan's financial projections lacked corroborating probative evidence.
