AAO found that the Petitioner's specific proposed endeavor — working as a physical therapist in a healthcare facility and potentially teaching — lacked national importance because the record did not show its prospective impact extending sufficiently beyond her direct patients or employers to affect the industry or U.S. economy broadly.…

AAO found that the Petitioner's specific proposed endeavor — working as a physical therapist in a healthcare facility and potentially teaching — lacked national importance because the record did not show its prospective impact extending sufficiently beyond her direct patients or employers to affect the industry or U.S. economy broadly. The shortage of physical therapists does not render her endeavor nationally important under Dhanasar, as such shortages are addressed through the labor certification process.
AAO accepted that the proposed nursing work has substantial merit but found it lacked national importance. The Petitioner's evidence addressed the nursing field generally but not the national impact of his specific proposed endeavor; the impact appeared limited to specific patients and workplaces rather than the broader field or nation.

AAO agreed with the Director that the Petitioner's proposed endeavor — operating a marketing and event services company — does not sufficiently extend beyond the company and its clientele to impact the industry or field more broadly at the level of national importance. The projected employment of 134 individuals and $10 million revenue over five years was not shown to have substantial positive national economic effects.

The Petitioner's proposed endeavor was inconsistent across three different employment positions, and post-filing changes in employment cannot establish eligibility. Expert letters and statistics spoke to the importance of the telecommunications industry as a whole, not the Petitioner's specific endeavor.…

The Petitioner's proposed endeavor was inconsistent across three different employment positions, and post-filing changes in employment cannot establish eligibility. Expert letters and statistics spoke to the importance of the telecommunications industry as a whole, not the Petitioner's specific endeavor. The Petitioner did not show that his individual contribution, as one of over a thousand employees at his employer, carried national importance.
The AAO agreed the business had substantial merit based on projected revenues and employment, but found the national importance prong not met because the record did not show that the Petitioner's specific business would introduce novel cleaning processes or products advancing disease prevention, nor did it establish national or regional economic significance.

AAO declined to consider material changes made to the petition after filing (including adding details about employing workers, operating in HUBZone areas, and the existence of the company), and found that even accepting those changes, the evidence did not establish national importance. The business plan's projections were found to lack sufficient probative weight and the record contained internal contradictions.

intent to continue working in the field in the United States
证据为何得到认可
AAO concludes the record contains sufficient evidence of the Petitioner's intent to continue his U.S. singing career, and that the Director failed to consider context (the pandemic) and disregarded substantial supporting evidence.
