AAO agreed that the Petitioner's proposed endeavor was insufficiently defined from the outset and that the updated endeavor introduced in the RFE response constituted an impermissible material change. The initial proposed endeavor of working as a pilot/airline captain, mentor, instructor, or consultant lacked specificity and did not demonstrate national importance beyond benefiting individual employers, passengers, or trainees.
AAO agreed there was substantial merit but withdrew the Director's finding on national importance. The Petitioner's evidence addressed broad industry topics rather than the national importance of his specific proposed endeavor.…

AAO agreed there was substantial merit but withdrew the Director's finding on national importance. The Petitioner's evidence addressed broad industry topics rather than the national importance of his specific proposed endeavor. The business plan's modest financial and employment projections (8–15 jobs, break-even and profitability figures) were insufficient to show substantial positive economic effects at a national level, and the opinion letter failed to explain how the restaurant would impact the field or economy broadly.
High salary or remuneration (8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(3)(ii)(D))
AAO 为什么未被说服
Although the Petitioner showed partnership income of $820,712 exceeding the national median CEO wage, the record lacked evidence comparing his compensation to others in digital marketing or e-commerce in the same geographic area, and did not show the income was a direct result of exceptional ability.

commanded a salary or other remuneration demonstrating exceptional ability
AAO 为什么未被说服
Because the Petitioner's employment history documentation was not credible due to discrepancies, AAO could not evaluate whether his earnings were comparably higher than others in his field. The salary data from Zarplan.com was also of indeterminate credibility and it was unclear whether the salary figures were yearly or monthly.

AAO found that none of the Petitioner's evidence—publications, support letters, references to government initiatives, or her personal statement—addressed her specific proposed endeavor or demonstrated broader national implications. The record lacked operational details (business plan, number of employees, wages, location beyond 'TBD') and the Petitioner's reliance on post-filing legislation and memoranda could not establish eligibility as of the 2020 filing date.
Recognition for achievements and significant contributions (8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(3)(ii)(F))
AAO 为什么未被说服
Learning certificates showed knowledge acquisition but not recognition for achievements; support letters contained general praise without evidence of contributions beyond competent business ownership; an article quote did not constitute significant recognition; and the nonprofit organizational letter lacked evidence of prestige or admission standards.

License or certification (8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(3)(ii)(C))
AAO 为什么未被说服
The Petitioner acknowledged no license was required, but his attempt to submit comparable evidence (business records and recommendation letters) was insufficient because BLS data contradicted his claim that the criterion did not apply, and the documents did not reflect the same caliber of expertise as a professional license or certification.

Ten years of full-time experience (8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(3)(ii)(B))
AAO 为什么未被说服
The record contained only two employer letters covering a limited period and comparable evidence (contracts and business licenses) lacked information about duration, hours worked, and job duties needed to establish ten years of full-time experience.
