AAO withdrew the Director's favorable finding, concluding the letters lacked the detail required to demonstrate a leading or critical role: they did not describe how the Petitioner's workshops impacted each establishment, and the Petitioner did not appear to hold a leading role in any of the organizations.

The record lacked evidence that the Speaker of the Year accolades were nationally or internationally recognized: the supporting organization's information did not reference those specific accolades, the website coverage did not establish the site's national or international reputation, and the expert letter addressed a different topic without opining on the national/international recognition of the award.

The Petitioner's 2022 salary of $166,161 falls below the 90th percentile nationwide for clinical psychologists ($168,790). The salary data from Indeed (77 reported salaries) was too small a sample to be reliable, and ZipRecruiter data showed top earners in New York earn more than the Petitioner. The Petitioner failed to provide geographically and position-appropriate compensation surveys to establish his salary is high relative to others in his specific field.
AAO agreed the endeavor has substantial merit but found the business plan insufficiently detailed on job creation (no headcount estimates, unclear salary data), that the submitted policy documents showed field-level relevance rather than specific endeavor impact, and that the consulting firm would serve an inherently limited client base without demonstrated broader national implications.…

AAO agreed the endeavor has substantial merit but found the business plan insufficiently detailed on job creation (no headcount estimates, unclear salary data), that the submitted policy documents showed field-level relevance rather than specific endeavor impact, and that the consulting firm would serve an inherently limited client base without demonstrated broader national implications. The DOL Schedule A discussion and STEM considerations did not change the analysis.
AAO found that the expert letter addressed the importance of the IT field generally rather than the Petitioner's specific proposed endeavor; the recommendation letters spoke to the Petitioner's qualifications rather than the national impact of his proposed company; the industry articles were general background materials; and the business plan's unsupported projections did not demonstrate how the Petitioner's company would i…

AAO found that the Petitioner's evidence — including translated circulation data ranking 52 Bangladeshi newspapers and showing several publications containing articles about him had among the highest national circulation — was sufficient to satisfy the published material criterion at the initial evidence stage. The Director's criticism that no comparative data was provided was not credible given that the document itself ranked 52 newspapers, and the publications were national rather than merely regional.
