While AAO agreed that the endeavor has substantial merit, it found the Petitioner failed to show national importance. The revenue and staffing projections were unsupported, the letters of support lacked sufficient information, and the Petitioner did not demonstrate that the prospective impact of his endeavor rises to the level of national importance by extending beyond his company and its customers.

AAO agreed substantial merit was shown but found the Petitioner failed to demonstrate national importance.

While the Petitioner demonstrated original research and accumulated citations, he failed to show those citations translated into major significance in the broader field. The OpenAlex comparative data was unreliable and post-dated the petition filing, and the expert letters described success and originality but did not explain how the work had already impacted the field at the level required.
