The Petitioner's proposed endeavor changed materially from an initial filing (legal/tax expert in sustainable investment and private equity) to an RFE response (biogas digester distributor and community savings bank operator), constituting four separate divergent endeavors.

AAO found sufficient evidence of substantial merit for the initial proposed endeavor, but concluded the Petitioner failed to demonstrate its national importance. The advisory evaluation letter discussed the importance of general and operations managers generally rather than the national importance of the Petitioner's specific proposed endeavor, and no evidence showed how his services would have broader implications for the country, significant potential to employ U.S. workers, or substantial positive economic effects.

AAO found the credential evaluation inconsistent with EDGE database information about the Petitioner's foreign degree type and equivalency, rendering the evaluation of minimal probative value. AAO could not conclude the Petitioner's diploma is equivalent to a U.S. baccalaureate degree.

AAO found the Petitioner's business plan projections too generalized and unsupported by independent evidence, and the submitted articles addressed the beverage industry broadly rather than the specific proposed endeavor. The recommendation letters focused on the Petitioner's personal achievements rather than the broad implications of the endeavor.…

Establishing the importance of the health/beverage industry generally does not establish national importance of the specific proposed endeavor.
Five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience
AAO 为什么未被说服
The employment book only listed employment pre-dating the claimed degree (July 2000), and the recommendation letters did not state dates of employment, precluding a finding of five years of post-baccalaureate experience.
