AAO found the proposed endeavor lacked national importance because the Petitioner did not identify a specific or consistent endeavor and her evidence pointed to the importance of the field rather than the specific impact of her individual work. AAO also faulted her for introducing a new endeavor in the RFE response that could not retroactively establish eligibility.

lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards
AAO 为什么未被说服
The bronze medal claim is undermined by inconsistencies between the Petitioner's account and ISA ranking data crediting another surfer with 3rd place. The 9th place finishes lack evidence of national or international reporting or field recognition as awards for excellence.

membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements
AAO 为什么未被说服
The record lacked sufficient documentary evidence from WSL, ABRASP, and CBS establishing their membership eligibility requirements, selection processes, and that the Petitioner's membership was based on outstanding achievements judged by recognized national or international experts. The CBS Rule Book submitted was incomplete and addressed competition categories rather than membership requirements.

leading or critical role for distinguished organizations
AAO 为什么未被说服
The evidence did not establish how the Petitioner's involvement in WQS events and media activities translated into a leading or critical role for WSL itself. For J- magazine and C- film company, the Petitioner was featured in their productions but held no actual role within those organizations, and she failed to substantiate their distinguished reputations.…

On appeal the Petitioner conceded she held no actual role in the media companies.
AAO reaffirmed that the Petitioner failed to demonstrate that his endeavor would broadly impact the oil and gas industry, has significant potential to employ U.S. workers, or offers substantial positive economic effects. The Petitioner's argument that Dhanasar is 'easier to satisfy' than NYSDOT was unsupported and betrayed a conflation of the two standards.

AAO did not resolve the merits of the ability-to-pay issue, instead remanding because material new evidence was submitted on appeal and the Director failed to apply the Sonegawa totality-of-circumstances analysis.

The AAO found the Petitioner's specific proposed endeavor remained unclear and inconsistent, with no documentation of the U.S. company's existence, no business plan or sales forecast, and no showing that his work would have national or global implications or substantial positive economic effects beyond his individual clientele.…

The AAO found the Petitioner's specific proposed endeavor remained unclear and inconsistent, with no documentation of the U.S. company's existence, no business plan or sales forecast, and no showing that his work would have national or global implications or substantial positive economic effects beyond his individual clientele. The expert opinion letter failed to address the national importance of the Petitioner's specific proposed work, and the shortage of accounting professionals is addressed through the labor certification process rather than the NIW framework.
AAO agreed that the Petitioner's general assertions about management did not establish national importance. The Petitioner's post-RFE submissions described a materially different entrepreneurial endeavor not contemplated at filing, and even those submissions failed to show job creation at a level producing substantial positive economic effects or to explain how the specific proposed endeavor (rather than the field generally…

AAO found the Petitioner does not hold an advanced degree and failed to document five years of qualifying post-baccalaureate work experience because the submitted employment letters did not comply with 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(g)(1) requirements (missing writer titles and addresses), and one letter concerned post-filing employment that cannot count toward eligibility.

AAO rejected the Petitioner's reading of Dhanasar as only requiring that a petitioner's field be nationally important, affirming that Dhanasar specifically requires consideration of the endeavor's potential impact. The support letters praised the Petitioner's abilities but did not establish what national impact his specific proposed U.S. endeavor would have.…
