final merits determination — sustained national or international acclaim as a coach
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that the Petitioner's past athletic acclaim does not translate into coaching acclaim: letters crediting him with influencing athletes early in their careers lacked continuity showing he coached them to later successes; job offers and consulting arrangements reflected confidence based on his athletic reputation, not recognition as a coach; and the volleyball academy he founded caters to youth and was publicized in…

AAO disagreed with the director's rationale (which incorrectly focused on the petitioner's unrelated education) but agreed with the ultimate conclusion that the proposed endeavor lacked national importance. AAO found that the petitioner's evidence—letters of recommendation, expert opinions, and professional plan—focused on the petitioner's personal abilities and past performance rather than demonstrating prospective national or global impact, broader implications, or positive economic effects of the endeavor itself. On substantial merit, however, AAO found in the petitioner's favor, concluding that the entrepreneurial software development endeavor fell within the meritorious range of areas contemplated by Dhanasar.
AAO found the Petitioner made a wholesale change to the proposed endeavor between the initial filing and the RFE response, making it impossible to evaluate substantial merit or national importance under Dhanasar. Discrepancies between the resume (present-tense activities since 2020) and the claim that the endeavor is future and inoperative further undermined the reliability of the expert opinion and business plan.
