AAO found the proposed endeavor lacked specificity—the record was inconsistent as to whether the Petitioner sought to be a consultant, an employee, pursue current employment, or become an executive—making it difficult to assess national importance. Furthermore, the Petitioner improperly relied on the importance of the oil and gas industry broadly rather than demonstrating the prospective impact of his specific endeavor.…

AAO found the proposed endeavor lacked specificity—the record was inconsistent as to whether the Petitioner sought to be a consultant, an employee, pursue current employment, or become an executive—making it difficult to assess national importance. Furthermore, the Petitioner improperly relied on the importance of the oil and gas industry broadly rather than demonstrating the prospective impact of his specific endeavor. Recommendation letters addressed the second Dhanasar prong (the individual) rather than the national importance of the specific proposed endeavor.
AAO found the personal statements and Proposed Endeavor Statement unreliable due to pixelated signatures and typographical errors; post-filing documents presented new material facts that cannot establish eligibility; and neither the initial nor RFE-response evidence discussed the specific proposed endeavor's national or global implications or significant economic effects.…

AAO found the personal statements and Proposed Endeavor Statement unreliable due to pixelated signatures and typographical errors; post-filing documents presented new material facts that cannot establish eligibility; and neither the initial nor RFE-response evidence discussed the specific proposed endeavor's national or global implications or significant economic effects. Generalized industry evidence does not suffice to show the specific endeavor has national importance.
AAO agreed with the Director that the articles and reports relate only to the housing and construction sector generally, not the Petitioner's specific proposed endeavor. The recommendation and support letters speak to the Petitioner's professionalism but do not sufficiently analyze the proposed endeavor or demonstrate its potential impact.…

AAO agreed with the Director that the articles and reports relate only to the housing and construction sector generally, not the Petitioner's specific proposed endeavor. The recommendation and support letters speak to the Petitioner's professionalism but do not sufficiently analyze the proposed endeavor or demonstrate its potential impact. The Director did not impose a novel requirement by considering a business plan as relevant to national importance.
AAO held that demonstrating the general importance of the nursing profession establishes merit but not national impact. The Petitioner did not show how her work would extend beyond her immediate patients and trainees to affect the broader field.…

AAO held that demonstrating the general importance of the nursing profession establishes merit but not national impact. The Petitioner did not show how her work would extend beyond her immediate patients and trainees to affect the broader field. The DOL's Schedule A designation for nursing addresses the labor shortage but does not support a finding of national importance for a NIW, as it does not waive the job offer requirement.
While the Petitioner demonstrated he performed in a critical role within the FBDs, he failed to establish that the FBDs themselves—as distinct from the hotels overall—had a distinguished reputation. Award lists and hotel information recognized the hotel as a whole rather than its FBD.

The Petitioner's comparison to a nationwide mean wage for all chefs and head cooks in all settings was too general; appropriate evidence would be geographically or position-specific compensation surveys. The nationwide mean is an insufficient benchmark for establishing a high salary relative to others in the specific field.

The Petitioner's shifting description of the proposed endeavor between the initial petition and the RFE response created two conflicting characterizations of the endeavor, making it impossible to evaluate its substantial merit or national importance. The Dhanasar framework requires a consistently articulated, specific endeavor.

Several articles were illegible or provided only partial translations rather than full certified translations. For articles that were legible and about the Petitioner's work, the Petitioner relied on Wikipedia to establish the publications as major media, which AAO discounted; additionally, the circulation data provided was from a year different from the publication dates, making it impossible to assess major media status a…

leading or critical role for distinguished organizations
AAO 为什么未被说服
The submitted letters did not establish that the Petitioner played a leading role for an organization as a whole, such as by influencing its overall reputation or being responsible for its success. The letters primarily contained bare assertions of acclaim and vague claims of contributions without specific examples demonstrating major significance.

Several certificates lacked certified English translations, making it impossible to evaluate them. Letters of appreciation did not clarify what type of awards were actually granted. Wikipedia-sourced information about awarding entities could not establish the national or international recognition of the awards themselves, and the record lacked sufficient evidence about selection processes, number of competitors, or level of…
