One publication lacked a required author; two publications did not mention the Petitioner at all; other publications quoted the Petitioner once but were about the company rather than the Petitioner himself. One interview article about the Petitioner failed to demonstrate the publication qualified as a professional or major trade publication or major media due to absence of circulation data.

AAO agreed that while the endeavor has substantial merit, the Petitioner failed to demonstrate national importance. The expert letters were conclusory and lacked corroborating evidence linking the specific endeavor to broader national impacts; evidence of industry-wide importance does not establish the national importance of the specific endeavor; letters of intent only showed impact on individual clients; and claimed job creation was unsupported.
exceptional ability evidence (three of six criteria)
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that while SCOPS incorrectly analyzed the petition under the advanced degree prong and misapplied 8 C.F.R. § 103.2(b)(8)(i), the result is the same because the record lacks the evidentiary documentation necessary to establish exceptional ability under 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(3). The documents referenced in the cover letter simply are not present in the record.

AAO agreed that the Petitioner's evidence failed to demonstrate the national importance of his specific proposed endeavor. The submitted briefs and articles did not show broader implications, global or national implications within the field, or substantial positive economic effects; unsupported assertions about economic impact do not meet the preponderance of the evidence standard.

AAO agrees the endeavor has substantial merit but the evidence does not show the Petitioner's individual research has prospective impact rising to national importance; letters reference potential and importance generally without corroborating real-world application or broader field implications.

final merits determination — sustained national or international acclaim
裁决如何说明
AAO reserved the final merits determination because the petitioner failed to clear the initial evidentiary threshold, but noted in the alternative that the record would not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim or placement among the small percentage at the top of the field.

commanding a high salary or significantly high remuneration
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the OFLC salary data covered occupations not matching the petitioner's field; BLS data covered too broad a geographic area (all of Michigan rather than the relevant metropolitan area); job advertisements suffered from the same geographic infirmity; and the Zippia and CUPA-HR surveys lacked sufficient job description details and information about survey respondents.
