AAO found the Petitioner's proposed endeavor—serving as executive chef at two catering businesses—lacks national importance because its impact is limited to individual businesses and customers rather than broadly affecting the culinary arts field. Opinion letters addressed the importance of the food industry generally but did not explain how the Petitioner's specific endeavor would impact the broader field. Fabricated quotes in the appeal brief and reliance on post-filing-date evidence further undermined the Petitioner's case.

AAO was skeptical the record supports national importance, noting that the Petitioner's proposed endeavor appears to be continuing a career as a business manager focusing on sales using IT, and that the Petitioner conflates their personal execution of the endeavor with its national importance.

AAO adopted and affirmed the Director's finding that the proposed endeavor lacks national importance.

The AAO agreed that performance evaluations and supervisory duties do not equate to formal participation as a judge. While the AAO agreed an extra-regulatory requirement of judging outside of employment cannot be imposed, the Petitioner still failed to show formal designation as a judge with specific evidence of when, whom, and by what standards reviews occurred.
