AAO agreed the Petitioner's proposed work has substantial merit but found it lacks national importance. The expert letter addressed the general importance of the artistic director occupation and the creative arts industry rather than the specific proposed endeavor. The Petitioner's statements of intention were unsupported by sufficient evidence of prospective impact, and financial/staffing projections were unexplained and insufficient to demonstrate substantial positive economic effects.
AAO agreed that general assertions about the marketing industry and sustainability do not establish the national importance of one specific online marketing business. The projected scale—20 employees and $4 million in revenue—is not significant relative to the broader industry, and the expert letter merely paraphrased the business plan without addressing the specific economic effect of the proposed endeavor.

The translated academic documents do not confirm receipt of a degree, the Petitioner's own résumé describes 'incomplete higher education,' and even if the five-year undergraduate program counted as a baccalaureate equivalent, the petition was filed less than two years after completion—far short of the required five years of post-baccalaureate experience.

AAO agreed that the Petitioner's specific proposed endeavor — providing private security consulting services to individual clients and businesses — lacked demonstrated broader implications for the private security industry or societal welfare. Job creation and tax revenue projections were not adequately supported and would not, even if established, demonstrate national importance.…

AAO agreed that the Petitioner's specific proposed endeavor — providing private security consulting services to individual clients and businesses — lacked demonstrated broader implications for the private security industry or societal welfare. Job creation and tax revenue projections were not adequately supported and would not, even if established, demonstrate national importance. Expert letters lacked probative value regarding national importance of the specific endeavor.

AAO affirmed that national importance was not shown, citing unresolved inconsistencies between the 22-worker and 28-worker figures, lack of detail about indirect jobs and wages, and failure to demonstrate national or global implications of the solar/electrical consulting services. AAO expressly reserved on the substantial-merit sub-component.

AAO found that the Petitioner's assertions were general and conclusory, that the record showed he is an experienced aircraft mechanic but not that his past achievements had broad impact, and that his stated goals were typical occupational duties rather than evidence of national importance for a specific endeavor.…

AAO found that the Petitioner's assertions were general and conclusory, that the record showed he is an experienced aircraft mechanic but not that his past achievements had broad impact, and that his stated goals were typical occupational duties rather than evidence of national importance for a specific endeavor. Claims about the aviation industry's importance related to the industry overall, not the specific proposed endeavor.
