AAO found the record supports substantial merit but expressed doubts about national importance, noting that the broader importance of long-distance freight trucking does not necessarily impart national importance to the Petitioner's specific endeavor as a business owner. AAO declined to resolve the issue because the second prong was dispositive.

AAO declined to resolve the issue because the second prong was dispositive.
The AAO agreed the endeavor had substantial merit but found the evidence did not establish national importance. Industry reports addressed software development and small businesses generally rather than the Petitioner's specific endeavor, the business plan's projections lacked independent objective support, and the expert opinion failed to meaningfully address the prospective national or global impact of the specific propos…

Industry reports addressed software development and small businesses generally rather than the Petitioner's specific endeavor, the business plan's projections lacked independent objective support, and the expert opinion failed to meaningfully address the prospective national or global impact of the specific proposed endeavor.
AAO agreed that the record presented inconsistent and insufficient evidence about the Petitioner's proposed endeavor, ranging across international trade consulting, real estate remodeling, teaching, translation, and general business management, without a coherent description of what specific work she would perform. The evidence did not establish national importance.

The evidence did not establish national importance.
The AAO found that the Petitioner offered only general notions of national impact without specific evidence showing how her clinic servicing clients in a certain area would have national-level implications. She also failed to demonstrate significant potential to employ U.S. workers or produce substantial positive economic effects.

The AAO agreed that substantial merit was shown but that national importance was not. The business plan's veracity was undermined by internally inconsistent wage data and an apparent unpaid worker. Even if credible, operating a mobile clinic out of a van in one metropolitan area, in a field with existing competitors, with only five employees, does not rise to the level of national or global implications or significant economic effects in an economically depressed area.
AAO agreed the endeavor had substantial merit (potential to help U.S. businesses grow and create jobs) but agreed it lacked national importance. The business plan's projected revenues, profits, and employee count were too modest, the plan to hire from economically depressed areas would not employ enough people to significantly affect those areas, and the Petitioner's broad GDP arguments did not demonstrate that his specific…

The reference letters briefly described the Beneficiary's projects without detailing the significance in the field and were largely conclusory. The patent-related letters failed to show how patents impacted the field, were commercialized, or attracted widespread attention sufficient to constitute major significance.
