AAO found that the Petitioner's evidence and arguments addressed the general value of her occupation, industry, and profession rather than the specific prospective impact of her proposed company. The business plan projections were unsupported, and the expert letter focused on the field generally rather than the Petitioner's specific endeavor. The Petitioner did not demonstrate that her company's activities would extend beyond its own clientele to impact the field or U.S. economy at a national level.
on balance, beneficial to the United States to waive job offer requirement
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that even if the first two prongs had been met, the petition could not be approved because the record lacks sufficient evidence of factors like impracticality of labor certification, benefit to the U.S. of the Petitioner's contributions, urgency of contributions to the national interest, capacity for job creation, and adverse effects on U.S. workers.

AAO withdrew the Director's finding of substantial merit because the Petitioner's proposed endeavor changed materially from project director to business executive consultant using GIS, introducing ambiguity that prevented analysis. AAO also found the endeavor failed national importance because the evidence focused on the Petitioner's past performance and the importance of the renewable energy field rather than the prospective broader implications of the specific proposed endeavor.
AAO found the Petitioner's education records lacked sufficient detail about course content, the work experience affidavits were unreliable due to doubt about simultaneous work at locations 300 miles apart, the business plan was arbitrary and contradictory, progress toward the endeavor was unestablished, and post-filing letters of interest could not establish eligibility at the time of filing.

The AAO agreed that the awards were not nationally or internationally recognized. Although the titles were awarded for excellence in civil service and entrepreneurialism respectively, both were awarded by city councils and there was no evidence they were recognized beyond those councils at the national or international level. The AAO rejected the Petitioner's argument that honorary citizenships are inherently internationally recognized, noting it misconstrues the criterion's focus on recognition of the specific awards he received.
authorship of scholarly articles in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO agreed the book is not scholarly, reasoning that in a non-academic field it is the intended audience—not the author—that determines whether a work is scholarly. Reader letters confirmed the book was aimed at general aspiring entrepreneurs and career-seekers, not learned professionals with profound knowledge in the field.

The AAO found that the submitted City Hall report did not attribute tourism growth to the commission or even mention it, the Petitioner provided no evidence supporting his claim to be president of the commission, and his 70% GDP tourism statistic lacked evidentiary support. Even accepting his claimed impact, growth in tourism in a single city would not constitute a contribution of major significance in the broader field of public service.
leading or critical role for organizations or establishments with a distinguished reputation
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO agreed the Petitioner failed this criterion on two independent grounds: (1) his role was not leading or critical because the organization's own 2020 Area Plan expressly states facilitators need not be experts, undermining the claimed criticality; and (2) the Petitioner failed to establish that Self-Sufficiency Service has a distinguished reputation.

AAO found the Petitioner's proposed endeavor fundamentally changed from owning a construction management company to being a quality test lead at a U.S. employer, an impermissible material change that left the endeavor too amorphous and ill-defined to assess substantial merit or national importance.
