AAO agreed that the Petitioner's coaching and teaching activities, even with an innovative approach, do not have an impact on the field more broadly beyond the immediate clients, consistent with Dhanasar's precedent that teaching activities generally do not rise to national importance. The recommendation letters were vague and the advisory opinion was internally inconsistent, lacked industry expertise, and focused on the importance of the occupation rather than the broader implications of the proposed endeavor.
The diploma did not establish equivalence to a U.S. bachelor's degree, the credential evaluation lacked analysis of coursework or credits, and did not explicitly state the diploma equaled a U.S. bachelor's degree. The regulations do not allow combining work experience with a non-baccalaureate foreign degree to reach an advanced degree equivalent.

The petitioner's diploma was not shown to be equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree, his employment letters lacked sufficient detail to demonstrate a record of success, he provided no details or documentation about starting his consulting business, and he appeared to abandon the endeavor when responding to the RFE.

The petitioner cited general statistics about small businesses but did not submit documentary evidence. His proposed consulting services would serve only a small number of businesses and he did not demonstrate broader national economic implications, potential to employ U.S. workers, or other substantial positive economic effects.

The RFE response introduced a materially different proposed endeavor (own consulting company, job creation) that constituted an impermissible material change under 8 C.F.R. § 103.2(b)(1) and Matter of Izummi. The original endeavor — obtaining a degree and contributing within one company — lacked sufficient specifics to show national importance.…

The RFE response introduced a materially different proposed endeavor (own consulting company, job creation) that constituted an impermissible material change under 8 C.F.R. § 103.2(b)(1) and Matter of Izummi. The original endeavor — obtaining a degree and contributing within one company — lacked sufficient specifics to show national importance. The employment confirmation letters addressed only past performance for past employers, not the prospective endeavor's broader implications. Even taking the new facts at face value, the Petitioner failed to provide details needed to assess national importance (e.g., location, number of employees, types of jobs). AAO reserved judgment on the substantial merit sub-component.
