Motion to Reopen – New Facts Demonstrating Eligibility
AAO 为什么未被说服
The Petitioner mailed the brief to the Phoenix Lockbox rather than directly to the AAO as explicitly required by the Form I-290B instructions; this does not demonstrate eligibility or have the potential to change the prior decision's outcome.

Motion to Reconsider – Decision Based on Incorrect Law or Policy
AAO 为什么未被说服
Because the Petitioner did not dispute — and thereby abandoned — AAO's finding that the original appeal lacked a specific statement of error, the Petitioner cannot demonstrate that the prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy. The issue is considered abandoned for this and any subsequent proceeding.

AAO concluded the Petitioner described general duties of an agronomist engineer rather than specific projects and goals, and the expert opinions focused on the importance of the agricultural industry generally and the Petitioner's qualifications rather than the specific endeavor's prospective impact. The claimed economic, environmental, and societal benefits were not supported by sufficient corroborating evidence.

membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements
AAO 为什么未被说服

published material about the individual in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO agreed that the Director ignored this criterion. However, AAO found the article only briefly mentioned the Petitioner and therefore could not be considered 'about' her. Additionally, the Petitioner failed to establish the publication is major media, offering only outdated circulation data from 2009–2015 rather than for the 2018 publication year.

lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO withdrew the Director's conclusion, finding that while the Petitioner documented receipt of prizes or awards, she did not submit sufficient documentary evidence establishing that they were nationally or internationally recognized for excellence. The article from a local newspaper section did not provide information establishing national or international recognition of the certificates.

authorship of scholarly articles in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that being the only monthly magazine for stringed instruments does not by itself establish it as a major trade publication, and that the article itself appeared to be a 'how-to' article rather than a scholarly article written for learned persons.

AAO found that while the Petitioner has two master's degrees and engineer-in-training certification, his research papers were unpublished or lacked citation history, his recommendation letters did not demonstrate that his work had influenced the field or been adopted by others, and post-filing evidence could not be considered. AAO concluded the Petitioner had not shown his research constitutes a record of success or progress in aviation technology sufficient to establish he is well positioned to advance his proposed endeavor.
AAO agreed that while the endeavor has substantial merit, the Petitioner failed to document sufficient prospective impact on the U.S. economy or the legal field more broadly. Business plan projections (9 direct employees, 22 indirect jobs, $150,000 in tax revenue by year five) lacked corroborating evidentiary support, and the expert opinion letter focused on the need for lawyers generally rather than on the specific prospec…

published material in major media or trade publications
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO found that some articles only briefly mention the Petitioner and are not 'about' him, some lacked a listed author, others were edited press releases from affiliated organizations functioning as marketing materials, and some articles were published after the filing date. Additionally, self-promotional media kit material is not sufficient to establish a publication as major media.
