The Petitioner described her area of intended practice but failed to explain how her proposed endeavor has substantial merit and national importance. Her assertion that her work contributes to interstate commerce did not meet the burden of showing significant broader-level benefits.

AAO found that while expert letters, citations, and citation statistics show the Petitioner is productive and his work has been relied upon by others, the evidence does not establish that his contributions have been widely implemented, remarkably impacted the field, or are otherwise of major significance.…

AAO found that while expert letters, citations, and citation statistics show the Petitioner is productive and his work has been relied upon by others, the evidence does not establish that his contributions have been widely implemented, remarkably impacted the field, or are otherwise of major significance. Expert letters focused on novelty and future potential rather than demonstrable current impact; citation rankings do not alone establish major significance; and the partial citing articles do not elevate his work above that of the many other cited sources.
AAO agreed the endeavor had substantial merit given evidence of math teacher shortages and STEM education interests, but found national importance not demonstrated because the business would serve only a tiny fraction of U.S. children, did not show national or economically depressed area benefits, and did not advance the field of math education broadly.

AAO recognized it had previously misidentified the diploma addendum as the diploma, and that EDGE confirms the diplom spetsialista does not display the word 'specialist' on the document and is the only five-year Russian university degree. Amended translations removed the prior misleading reference to 'undergraduate education,' and a preponderance of the evidence supports the Petitioner's receipt of a master's-equivalent credential.
AAO reserved this prong because the Petitioner failed to establish the threshold EB-2 advanced degree qualification, making the NIW analysis unnecessary.

Advanced degree qualification (baccalaureate + 5 years progressive experience)
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO agreed with the Director that the employment letters were deficient because they lacked specific dates of employment, hours per week, and specific duties, and therefore failed to establish the required five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience in the specialty.

Continuing ability to pay proffered wage from priority date
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO agrees that the record as submitted does not establish ability to pay from the 2020 priority date, because the 2020 tax return was not included; however, AAO recognizes that the 2020 return may not have been available at adjudication time, justifying remand rather than denial.
