AAO found the Petitioner lacked any experience or training in U.S. immigration law, had no documented steps toward U.S. bar admission or BIA accreditation, and her past experience was in the restaurant industry in Brazil rather than in immigration or management consulting. The ServSafe certification was obtained after filing and was for food industry managers, not consultants.

The academic evaluation was discounted as having little probative value. Additionally, the employment letters were deficient because they did not specify full-time or part-time status and one was written by a co-worker rather than an employer.
