AAO agreed that the endeavor lacked national importance. The Petitioner's projections for revenue and job creation were insufficiently substantiated, his reliance on the importance of IT/cybersecurity broadly was misplaced, and a new business plan submitted on appeal constituted a material change in the proposed endeavor and was disregarded for eligibility purposes.

AAO agreed the Petitioner failed to show national importance, finding that providing medical services at a small clinic or managing it does not broadly impact the medical field or healthcare access in the United States. General assertions about the healthcare industry do not substitute for showing the specific proposed endeavor's national impact, and the business plan's projections lacked supporting data and analysis.

Foreign equivalent degree to U.S. advanced or baccalaureate degree
