AAO found that the Petitioner's three-year Licenciada program does not equate to a four-year U.S. baccalaureate degree per EDGE, and her Diploma de Professor is only equivalent to a U.S. vocational high school diploma. The credential evaluator's opinion was rejected for lack of reasoning, reliance only on diploma and resume without transcripts, and failure to address the EDGE data. Contradictions in the record about when she entered the program also prevented determination of program length.
AAO found that the Petitioner conflated the importance of the education industry broadly with the national importance of her specific endeavor. Support letters only showed impact on her immediate professional circle; her proposed programs lacked specificity about format, scale, and scope; and her economic impact claims were not individually quantified.

Support letters only showed impact on her immediate professional circle; her proposed programs lacked specificity about format, scale, and scope; and her economic impact claims were not individually quantified.
AAO agreed substantial merit was established but national importance was not. Petitioner's claims about her achievements, the legal industry, and U.S.-Brazil trade were either conclusory or addressed the field generally rather than the specific endeavor; the record did not show the endeavor would impact the legal field or economy at a nationally important scale.

on balance, beneficial to waive job offer requirement
裁决如何说明
AAO declined to reach prong three, remanding so the Director can conduct a first-line adjudication of whether, on balance, a waiver is beneficial, considering factors such as practicability of a labor certification, U.S. benefit, urgency of national interest, and job creation potential.

AAO agreed with the Director's earlier RFE determination that the endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance, noting that the Petitioner's research spans multiple high-impact fields and has already had measurable industry impact, including contributions to an open-source project used by well-known U.S. software companies.
