The AAO found that the Petitioner's legal education, work as a prosecutor, and minimarket ownership in Kazakhstan bore minimal relation to managing a U.S. cargo transportation company. The business plan was insufficiently detailed and lacked competitor analysis. Evidence of progress was limited, and interest from potential customers was demonstrated by only one generalized letter.

The business plan was insufficiently detailed and lacked competitor analysis. Evidence of progress was limited, and interest from potential customers was demonstrated by only one generalized letter.
The AAO found the business plan did not establish how the proposed endeavor—managing a California-based household moving company—has national importance. Employing 13 to 50 workers and expanding to a few states did not demonstrate significant potential to employ U.S. workers or other substantial positive economic effects as contemplated by Dhanasar.

published material in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found YouTube insufficient as major media due to lack of vetting or editing, and found many articles lacked required author or date information. The Petitioner also failed to provide comparative evidence to establish that the publications qualify as major media or professional/major trade publications.

AAO withdrew the Director's conclusion, finding that simply having education, skills, and knowledge in isolation does not place a petitioner in a position to advance their proposed endeavor. The record did not reflect how prior job duties constituted a record of success similar to the proposed endeavor, did not show adequate progress toward the endeavor, and the recommendation/experience letters did not demonstrate relevant interest or support for the specific proposed endeavor.
AAO affirmed the Director's analysis, finding that the Petitioner conflated the importance of the field with the national importance of the specific proposed endeavor. The objective 'governmental evidence' did not reference the Petitioner's specific proposed endeavor, and the testimonial evidence only addressed competent execution of past job duties without demonstrating how the endeavor would have national implications.

AAO agreed that the proposed endeavor has substantial merit but not national importance. The Petitioner's evidence focused on the general importance of legal consulting and her personal qualifications rather than the prospective impact of her specific endeavor. Her professional plans described typical occupational duties of a legal consultant, and her financial projections lacked corroborating evidence of plausibility.…

AAO agreed that the proposed endeavor has substantial merit but not national importance. The Petitioner's evidence focused on the general importance of legal consulting and her personal qualifications rather than the prospective impact of her specific endeavor. Her professional plans described typical occupational duties of a legal consultant, and her financial projections lacked corroborating evidence of plausibility. The expert letter similarly focused on the significance of the legal sector and her qualifications rather than the national importance of her specific proposed work.
The AAO agreed that the Petitioner's business plan and supporting materials offered only generalized descriptions of legal consultancy services with no showing that the proposed endeavor would impact the legal consulting field or U.S. economy more broadly, analogizing to Dhanasar's conclusion that teaching activities lacking broader field impact did not satisfy national importance.

AAO agreed that the Petitioner's evidence addressed the value of clinical laboratory technicians and STEM professions broadly rather than establishing the specific national or global impact of her particular endeavor. The Petitioner provided no evidence showing her company's services would differ from or improve upon those already available, or that expert or government sources specifically endorsed her particular endeavor.
