AAO agrees the endeavor has substantial merit but finds the record does not show national importance: a professor's letter conflicts with the stated endeavor, industry articles do not address the specific endeavor, recommendation letters address past accomplishments rather than prospective impact, and projected job creation and HUBZone-related economic effects are unsubstantiated.

Although an expert credited the Petitioner's research with the eventual development of a drug, the Petitioner failed to show how the drug impacted or influenced the field in a major way. The expert letter lacked specific detail on the drug's implementation, usage, or overall impact, and the clinical trial screenshots reported only on ongoing trials rather than established significance. The letter was too conclusory to establish a contribution of major significance.

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

The AAO affirmed that the record lacked sufficient evidence of the awards' national or international recognition beyond organization members, and that the student-limited awards did not establish issuance for 'excellence in the field' because more educated and experienced competitors were excluded.

The AAO found that the Petitioner did not submit viewership statistics to show the online sites constitute major media, and that the articles merely reported his name, school, field, and scholarship — not a substantial discussion of him and his work. The media release similarly lacked substantial discussion of the Petitioner and his work.

The AAO found that the expert letters did not sufficiently explain how the research had 'major significance' in the field and that the record lacked corroborating documentation of widespread citation or commentary. The Director's misstatement about the Petitioner's relationship with the company was harmless error.
