AAO agreed the Petitioner's proposed endeavor does not sufficiently extend beyond her company and its clientele to broadly impact the industry or field at a level commensurate with national importance. The Petitioner did not demonstrate significant potential to employ U.S. workers or offer substantial positive economic effects nationally.

AAO agreed the endeavor has substantial merit but concluded it lacks national importance because the Petitioner did not show how his specific proposed work—continuing as operations manager for his current employer—would have broader implications for the industry or the nation. Expert letters addressed broader technologies not included in the proposed endeavor, and infrastructure reports focused on the industry as a whole rather than the Petitioner's specific work.
The Petitioner's Venezuelan diploma was evaluated as equivalent only to a U.S. associate's degree, not a bachelor's degree. The regulations require at least a bachelor's degree as the foundation for the advanced-degree equivalency, and experience cannot substitute for that foundational degree.
