AAO found the Petitioner's proposed endeavor — a marketing/communications consultancy focused on helping U.S. companies export to Brazil — lacked evidence of national-scale impact. The business plan's job creation and revenue projections (25 jobs and $1.7M by year five) lacked adequate basis and, even if credited, did not rise to national importance. The Petitioner's professional skills were more relevant to prong two than to prong one's national importance inquiry.
The record lacks evidence such as membership requirements showing that Associatec or APP are professional associations within the meaning of the regulations.

The record lacks evidence such as membership requirements showing that Associatec or APP are professional associations within the meaning of the regulations.
AAO found that the Petitioner's evidence focused on her personal abilities and past performance rather than the prospective impact of the specific endeavor. The proposed consulting and training services primarily benefit the narrow set of healthcare professionals and community organizations that directly engage her services, without demonstrating national/global implications to the field, broader implications, or substantia…

AAO found that the Petitioner's evidence focused on her personal abilities and past performance rather than the prospective impact of the specific endeavor. The proposed consulting and training services primarily benefit the narrow set of healthcare professionals and community organizations that directly engage her services, without demonstrating national/global implications to the field, broader implications, or substantial positive economic effects. The plan to employ 20 people in three years without identifying an economically depressed area did not suffice, and the expert opinion merely summarized the business plan and spoke to the Petitioner's achievements rather than the endeavor's national importance.
AAO agreed with SCOPS that the Petitioner had not established national importance. Support letters attested to her skills and accomplishments but did not discuss her specific proposed endeavor or its prospective national impact; economic impact articles did not attribute the impact to the Petitioner's individual contributions; and general field articles did not focus on the Petitioner's specific proposed endeavor or show br…

AAO agreed that the Petitioner established substantial merit but not national importance. The general healthcare evidence did not establish that the specific proposed endeavor had broad implications. No U.S. government funding, investment, or interest in the Petitioner's endeavor was shown.…

AAO agreed that the Petitioner established substantial merit but not national importance. The general healthcare evidence did not establish that the specific proposed endeavor had broad implications. No U.S. government funding, investment, or interest in the Petitioner's endeavor was shown. The labor shortage evidence was insufficient to tie the endeavor to national-level impact, and the business plan lacked sufficient detail to establish significant employment potential or substantial positive economic effects.
AAO agreed that the endeavor had substantial merit but found the record lacked corroborating evidence for the business projections and did not establish that the endeavor would produce substantial positive economic effects at a regional or national level. AAO also clarified that national importance focuses on the specific proposed endeavor, not the field broadly, and not on the petitioner's qualifications.

membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO held that obtaining certification, regardless of level, is not synonymous with membership in the awarding society, and the Petitioner failed to address that core deficiency.

leading or critical role for organization with distinguished reputation
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO clarified it had not demanded numerical detail but found the letters lacked sufficient detail about the Petitioner's specific contributions; because the Petitioner did not establish a leading/critical role, AAO did not need to address the distinguished reputation of additional contractors under Bagamasbad.

AAO affirmed its prior holding that the Petitioner had not demonstrated the national importance of her proposed endeavor under Dhanasar's first prong. AAO distinguished Dhanasar's 'substantial merit' language (which does not require quantifiable economic impact) from the 'national importance' inquiry, which does require showing potential prospective impact and broader implications, including significant potential to employ U.S.…
