AAO acknowledged substantial merit but found the Petitioner did not show national or global implications within the field of international financial markets, nor significant potential to employ U.S. workers or generate substantial positive economic effects. The geographic spread of business partners does not equate to national importance, and the record did not show the Simple platform impacted the field nationally. The HUBZone argument also failed because the record did not show the Petitioner's endeavor involves HUBZone-certified companies or federal contracts.
AAO agreed the business plan's projections—$345,000 in year 1 rising to $13.9 million by year 5 and 43 jobs in five years—lacked explanation of how goals were set or how they would be achieved, making credibility impossible to assess. Even if credible, the creation of 43 jobs in five years does not have the broad implications required for national importance.

The Petitioner presented only a generalized disagreement with the Director's second-prong finding, offering the same arguments without identifying specific legal or factual errors. AAO found this insufficient to raise the issue on appeal, treating it as waived.

AAO found that the Petitioner's signatures on both the Form I-290B and Form G-28 were identical in every measure—including lines, loops, slant, spacing, and pen lifts—and bore an identical 'imperfection' mark, indicating the signature was an electronically copied image rather than an original handwritten signature. AAO concluded this violated 8 C.F.R. § 103.2(a)(7)(ii)(A) and USCIS Policy Manual requirements.

Advanced degree or equivalent (5 years progressive post-baccalaureate experience)
AAO 为什么未被说服
Employer letters were inconsistent as to dates and job titles, undermining their reliability. The foreign degree's duration (3, 4, or 5 years) was unclear, raising doubt about equivalency to a U.S. bachelor's degree. The educational evaluation improperly combined education and work experience rather than relying on a single-source degree. Post-filing part-time employment could not cure the deficiency.

AAO withdrew the Director's adverse finding on substantial merit, holding the Petitioner did describe her endeavor and demonstrated it has substantial merit by explaining it would help organ recipients receive lifesaving donations. However, AAO agreed the Petitioner failed to establish national importance, as her certification and RFE statement did not explain how the endeavor has prospective national-level impact.

AAO concluded the endeavor has substantial merit but the record does not show national importance: the Petitioner's anticipated outcomes are presumptive, not supported by Petitioner-specific evidence, and her aspirational claims about job creation and broad economic impact lack documentation showing how she would actualize them.

AAO concluded the personal statements and business plan offered generalized projections insufficient to show prospective impact; evidence about the cybersecurity field generally does not establish national importance of the specific endeavor; recommendation letters describe benefits to her employers rather than broad field-wide implications; and the projection of seven jobs is insufficient.
