lesser nationally or internationally recognized awards
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO agreed the Petitioner failed to establish national or international recognition of the awards, but criticized SCOPS for conflating this criterion with a final merits/sustained acclaim requirement.

AAO agreed the Petitioner failed to establish national or international recognition of the awards, but criticized SCOPS for conflating this criterion with a final merits/sustained acclaim requirement. AAO found no sufficient objective documentary evidence that the prizes are nationally or internationally recognized.
AAO reversed SCOPS, finding that the plain language of this criterion does not require sustained acclaim, and that the letters, diplomas, and event rules in the record corroborate that the Petitioner did serve as a judge of other wrestlers' work.

on balance, waiving the job offer requirement would benefit the United States
证据为何得到认可
AAO found that the Petitioner's expertise in novel drug delivery techniques, the widespread benefits of nanotechnology in treating cancer and HIV, her track record of successful research, and her published findings collectively demonstrate that her contributions are of such value that a waiver benefits the United States even assuming other qualified U.S. workers are available.

AAO agreed that SCOPS applied incorrect criteria in assessing national importance, noting that neither the Dhanasar framework nor the USCIS Policy Manual requires explanation of design/methodology availability in the U.S. or proof of economic effects. AAO found the Petitioner's evidence—including NIH and CDC articles and her personal statement—established that her endeavor advances federally recognized national priority technologies.
AAO agreed the endeavor lacks national importance. The relevant inquiry is not the importance of the cybersecurity industry generally but the specific proposed endeavor; the Petitioner's consulting company would serve individual clients and did not show broader implications, meaningful job creation, or economic effects at a national scale.…

The business plan's revenue and job projections were unsupported and too modest to establish national importance.
on balance, waiving the job offer requirement would benefit the United States
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that the petitioner had not established impracticality of obtaining a labor certification (a post-doctoral offer letter was available and not described as temporary), had not shown the U.S. would benefit even if other qualified workers were available (several other researchers work in the same area), and had not shown sufficient urgency to forgo labor certification.…

AAO found that the petitioner had not established impracticality of obtaining a labor certification (a post-doctoral offer letter was available and not described as temporary), had not shown the U.S. would benefit even if other qualified workers were available (several other researchers work in the same area), and had not shown sufficient urgency to forgo labor certification. Even accounting for STEM policy considerations and the USCIS Policy Manual, these factors together did not establish that a waiver would on balance be beneficial.
