While AAO disagreed with the Director's categorical bar on any additional duties, it still found the Petitioner's two added duties (leadership and cross-functional collaboration) materially altered the nature of the job and could have attracted more U.S. applicants with managerial skills.

AAO agreed the proposed endeavor had substantial merit given documented dental care shortages, but found it failed the national importance sub-prong. The HUBZone listings were irrelevant because the Petitioner is not a U.S. citizen or qualifying entity. The work of a single dental professional would not have broader national implications.

AAO agreed the proposed endeavor had substantial merit given documented dental care shortages, but found it failed the national importance sub-prong. The HUBZone listings were irrelevant because the Petitioner is not a U.S. citizen or qualifying entity. The work of a single dental professional would not have broader national implications. Economic projections were unsupported. Knowledge proliferation through hiring and training is akin to teaching, which Dhanasar held does not rise to national importance.

AAO agreed that while the endeavor has substantial merit addressing animal health, the evidence did not demonstrate broader implications rising to national importance. The direct benefits are limited to individual pet owners, the expert letter did not credibly link the endeavor to national-level impact, and the economic projections were unsupported.
