AAO agreed that the evidence did not establish national importance. General articles about small business value do not speak to the specific endeavor's prospective impact; recommendation letters addressed individual skills but not field-wide implications; the business plan's financial projections lacked adequate support; and a single letter of interest did not corroborate substantial economic impact at the national level.

The AAO found that the record supports that soccer has substantial merit as a field, but the Petitioner's specific proposed endeavor—administering a local soccer academy—does not rise to national importance. Expert letters focused on the general importance of youth sports rather than the broader implications of the Petitioner's specific work.…

The AAO found that the record supports that soccer has substantial merit as a field, but the Petitioner's specific proposed endeavor—administering a local soccer academy—does not rise to national importance. Expert letters focused on the general importance of youth sports rather than the broader implications of the Petitioner's specific work. The Petitioner did not demonstrate that his academy's impacts on health, culture, sport, or the economy would reach national significance.
AAO found that the Petitioner conflated the importance of the HR field generally with the national importance of his specific proposed endeavor. The business plan's revenue forecasts and job creation projections (4 to 14 positions over five years) were insufficient to demonstrate substantial positive economic effects or broader implications rising to national importance.

advanced degree or foreign equivalent qualification
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that the Petitioner's educational evaluations were contradictory and unreliable, and that neither his latu sensu MBA certificate (a professional development credential, not a graduate degree) nor his theology bachelor's degree (awarded after fewer than four years of study) constitutes a U.S. baccalaureate equivalent. Without a baccalaureate equivalent, the Petitioner cannot qualify as an advanced degree professional.

AAO found substantial merit in the business concept but agreed with the Director that national importance was not established. The expert letter contained only conclusory statements without explanation of why the specific endeavor had national importance, the business plan was internally inconsistent about the nature of the business, and the creation of only three relatively unskilled jobs was insufficient to constitute a s…

The AAO found that the Petitioner's evidence and arguments addressed the importance of the construction industry generally rather than the national importance of her specific proposed endeavor. The expert letter similarly focused on industry importance, not the broader implications of the Petitioner's business. The business plan's revenue projections ($455K–$881K) and employment projections (1–4 positions) did not demonstrate substantial positive economic effects at a regional or national level commensurate with national importance.
AAO explicitly reserved this issue because the Petitioner's ineligibility for a national interest waiver is dispositive and renders any finding on exceptional ability unnecessary.
