AAO found that the Petitioner's prior academic and work history, generalized mining industry information, and contract evidence are relevant only to the second prong (well-positioned) or the merit sub-element of the first prong, but do not establish national importance of the specific proposed endeavor. The consulting activities benefiting a small number of clients, employing four workers at an unspecified (apparently private residence) location, with speculative indirect job creation, do not rise to the level of national or global implications contemplated by Dhanasar. Opinion letters making unsubstantiated employment claims were found to have minimal reliability and sufficiency.
While AAO agreed the endeavor has substantial merit, it found the Petitioner did not establish national importance. The proposed services to small businesses in Florida would not extend beyond his clients or broadly enhance societal welfare. The business plan lacked support for revenue and staffing projections. The expert opinion letter was too general and did not address the specific proposed endeavor.

AAO agreed the endeavor has substantial merit within business and entrepreneurialism but found the record does not show national importance.

The Petitioner's comparison relied on cherry-picked low-grossing comparator films and did not provide a broad, accurate comparison of gross receipts across films released in the same year or category. The Petitioner also failed to provide budget/operating cost information necessary to assess true commercial success.

published material in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
Most submitted articles failed to include required elements (title, date, author); some did not mention the Petitioner at all. Only two articles (27prmedia.com and examiner.com) qualified as material about the Petitioner relating to his work and included all required elements, but the Petitioner did not demonstrate those outlets constituted professional, major trade, or major media publications given the insufficient reader…

high salary or significantly high remuneration for services
AAO 为什么未被说服
The Petitioner earns project-based flat fees, not hourly or yearly wages; the appropriate comparison is fees for services against other performers' fees, not hourly/yearly salary comparisons. The VO Release documents show flat session and usage fees, not per-hour rates. Moreover, even on a yearly-earnings comparison, the Petitioner's W-2 earnings of $2,200–$19,600 were well below the California actor average of $26,989.

membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements
AAO 为什么未被说服
The plain language of ANDI's bylaws does not require outstanding achievements; partner membership requires only any interpretation on material support or a professional interpretation contract, and having generated any royalties — not sufficiently significant ones. The Petitioner's selective dictionary definitions are not supported by the bylaws.
