AAO found that the Petitioner's claims about the importance of learning specialists in general did not establish national importance of her specific proposed endeavor, that the website proposal raised for the first time on appeal appeared to be a material change and lacked supporting detail, and that the research component was too vague to demonstrate national importance. AAO noted that the endeavor was unlikely to extend beyond her university, student population, or potential website customers.
AAO noted that the Director's favorable determination lacked elaboration and appeared unsupported. The wider importance of clean energy does not necessarily confer national importance on the Petitioner's specific role as a sales consultant. However, AAO declined to explore this further because the denial was sustained on the second prong.

AAO agreed the letters of endorsement spoke only to the Petitioner's character and work quality without addressing broader impact, and the business plan had discrepancies and lacked credible sourcing for its projections.

AAO found that the Petitioner's Brazilian bachelor's degree equates to only three and a half years of U.S. bachelor's-level study, and her lato sensu diploma leads to a professional certificate, not a graduate degree. Therefore, she holds only the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree, not a foreign equivalent degree above the bachelor's level.

AAO adopted and affirmed the Director's conclusion on national importance, noting the Petitioner's post-filing HR group cannot be considered, and that a claimed shortage of HR professionals does not establish national importance when the Petitioner has not shown her endeavor would impact or significantly reduce that shortage.
