AAO found the Petitioner materially changed their proposed endeavor from independent consulting to daycare ownership between the petition and the RFE response, creating irreconcilable inconsistency that prevented analysis of substantial merit and national importance. Such a material change is impermissible under Matter of Izummi.

AAO agreed that the Petitioner failed to show national importance, finding that the evidence focused on the Petitioner's personal credentials and past performance rather than the proposed endeavor's prospective national impact. The evidence of one client's tax payments was insufficient to extrapolate broader economic significance, the expert letters were either unreliable or misplaced in emphasis, and the CISA memorandum did not cover international tax work.
AAO found the Petitioner's academic background (gastronomy technology, teaching evaluation, environmental development) and professional experience (culinary professor, chef, event planner) did not support competency in business development, management consulting, entrepreneurship, or foreign direct investment.

The record does not reflect the salary or remuneration expected for individuals of exceptional ability performing comparable duties. The Canadian government salary data applied to real estate sales representatives, not commercial development specialists, and even if it did apply, the record does not support that the 'high' salary related to individuals with exceptional ability.…

The record does not reflect the salary or remuneration expected for individuals of exceptional ability performing comparable duties. The Canadian government salary data applied to real estate sales representatives, not commercial development specialists, and even if it did apply, the record does not support that the 'high' salary related to individuals with exceptional ability. The gross commission evidence did not demonstrate how the Petitioner's commissions were reflective of exceptional performance significantly above that ordinarily encountered.
AAO disagreed with the Director and withdrew the finding that criterion (E) was met. The real estate boards are not professional associations as contemplated by the regulations because the occupation of commercial development specialist or realtor does not customarily require a bachelor's or higher degree, and the record lacked evidence of the criteria for membership indicating they are collections of professionals.

membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements
AAO 为什么未被说服
ATUR's statute shows membership is open to artists over 18 who submit a written application, with no requirement of outstanding achievements judged by experts. EAU's statute uses the term 'outstanding achievements' but does not define it with specificity, and the Petitioner failed to show EAU's Presidium members qualify as recognized national or international experts.

While AAO agreed that the Petitioner's proposed endeavor had substantial merit (addressing dental care access), the record failed to demonstrate national importance because: the work of a single dental professional would not have broader implications beyond its immediate sphere; evidence of job creation was insufficient to rise to national importance; the Petitioner did not identify where they intended to establish their cl…

The Petitioner's Brazilian degree is equivalent only to a U.S. bachelor's degree. The letters submitted to show five years of post-baccalaureate progressive experience were deficient because they lacked specific duty descriptions, covered work predating graduation, and covered fewer than five post-baccalaureate years.
