The Petitioner's initial petition described working as an administrator and financial analyst and submitted over 30 varied job postings without explaining their relevance. This amounted to a job search rather than a specific proposed endeavor. The business plan submitted at the RFE stage constituted a material change and was not considered.

The Petitioner submitted only the English translation of academic transcripts, not the original untranslated transcripts. USCIS regulations require foreign language documents to be accompanied by a full English language translation—not replaced by one. Without the original untranslated transcripts, the criterion is not met.

AAO concluded the proposed endeavor of working as a surgeon would not extend beyond the Petitioner's hospital and patients to impact the medical field broadly. The post-filing job offer adding endocrine surgery and a specific location was an impermissible material change, and articles about general physician shortages did not show the Petitioner's specific endeavor would address such issues at a national scale.

AAO agreed the endeavor lacked national importance. The expert letters and supporting documentation focused on the general importance of business administration rather than the specific broader implications of the Petitioner's particular services. The record did not show significant potential to employ U.S. workers or substantial positive economic effects at the national level.

AAO agreed that national importance was not established. AAO further found that the Petitioner presented three materially inconsistent descriptions of his proposed endeavor across the initial filing, RFE response, and appeal brief, constituting impermissible post-filing material changes that prevented any meaningful NIW analysis.…

AAO agreed that national importance was not established. AAO further found that the Petitioner presented three materially inconsistent descriptions of his proposed endeavor across the initial filing, RFE response, and appeal brief, constituting impermissible post-filing material changes that prevented any meaningful NIW analysis. Plans to establish a company were presented after the filing date and cannot retroactively establish eligibility.
The AAO found the Petitioner failed to show that his specific proposed endeavor—providing petroleum engineering services to unidentified employers—had national importance beyond the industry generally. The alleged shortage of an occupation does not render a proposed endeavor nationally important, and the Petitioner provided no evidence of prospective broader impact on the industry or economy.…

The alleged shortage of an occupation does not render a proposed endeavor nationally important, and the Petitioner provided no evidence of prospective broader impact on the industry or economy. The AAO also refused to consider the materially changed endeavor (opening his own business) raised post-filing.

AAO agreed the record shows the proposed work has substantial merit but found no documentation demonstrating how the clean energy investment consulting services would extend beyond prospective clients to impact the industry or the broader U.S. economy at the level of national importance. AAO also noted the Petitioner's experience is relevant to prong two rather than prong one, and that the record lacked evidence of significant potential to employ U.S. workers or generate substantial positive economic effects.

The registrar's letter did not provide enrollment or graduation dates, no official academic record with coursework and graduation date was submitted, and the Petitioner did not demonstrate that the school is accredited by a U.S. Department of Education-recognized agency; a degree from an unaccredited institution does not qualify the holder as a professional.
