AAO found the post-filing pivot to entrepreneurship was an impermissible material change under Katigbak/Izummi, and that the originally proposed endeavor of filling a software developer vacancy did not have the national or global implications, or significant potential to employ U.S. workers, contemplated by Dhanasar.

AAO agreed that substantial merit was shown but national importance was not. The Petitioner's evidence addressed the importance of the SME industry and profession generally, rather than demonstrating how her specific consulting business would have broader prospective impact on the field or U.S. economy at the national level. Business plan projections (13 jobs, $1.6M revenue in year 5) were not shown to translate into substantial positive economic effects commensurate with national importance.
