AAO disagreed with the Director on the substantial merit sub-element, finding nursing work has merit in the health domain, but agreed the Petitioner failed to establish national importance because she provided no evidence linking her specific nursing work to broader impact beyond her prospective patients or employing facilities, and her claims were merely generalized assertions.

The AAO found that the business plan's financial and staffing projections lacked supporting documentation and contained internal inconsistencies. The Petitioner did not demonstrate that her firm would introduce or lead innovations in decentralized finance, nor that her consulting activities would have broader implications for the industry. Her connection to STEM or national digital assets initiatives was too indirect, and her reference letters did not address the broader implications of her proposed endeavor.
AAO agreed the endeavor lacks national importance because the evidence relates to the Petitioner's individual skills and the importance of entrepreneurship generally rather than the broader prospective impact of his specific endeavor, and his projections of 12 employees and $1.2M revenue do not show substantial positive economic effects.

commanding a salary or remuneration demonstrating exceptional ability
AAO 为什么未被说服
Comparing wages to the minimum wage in Colombia does not demonstrate exceptional ability. The Petitioner's claim of above-average wages for film producers in Colombia was unsupported because he only provided untranslated Spanish-language URLs. The wage documentation itself was internally inconsistent due to unexplained inflation adjustments and currency conversions.

membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements
AAO 为什么未被说服
The association's membership criteria (points for exhibition participation, years of work, educational degrees, demographic bonuses) do not rise to the level of outstanding achievements, and the rules do not indicate that admission is judged by recognized national or international experts. The biographical profiles of two association officials did not establish that reviewers are recognized national or international experts.
