AAO affirmed that while operating a tennis academy has merit, the record failed to show national or global implications or substantial positive economic effects beyond the Petitioner's own clients. New facts raised for the first time on appeal could not establish eligibility. The plan to employ only four workers did not demonstrate significant potential to employ U.S. workers.

The AAO found the proposed endeavor materially changed after filing from employment-based services to forming a new company, which itself is impermissible under 8 C.F.R. § 103.2(b)(1) and Matter of Izummi.…

The AAO found the proposed endeavor materially changed after filing from employment-based services to forming a new company, which itself is impermissible under 8 C.F.R. § 103.2(b)(1) and Matter of Izummi. Even on the merits, the business plan was too generic, lacked identified clients, lacked evidence of the $100,000 investment, and did not adequately support revenue and staffing projections, failing to show prospective impact rising to national importance.
The AAO found that the Petitioner's articles had low citation rates over four decades, his letters came from collaborators and those with commercial interests, his compounds had not been shown to attract field-wide attention, and future anticipated impact cannot satisfy the criterion. Use at a single institution and pending FDA steps are insufficient to demonstrate major significance.

Use at a single institution and pending FDA steps are insufficient to demonstrate major significance.
The AAO found the salary comparisons unreliable due to a wide range of figures, lack of specificity as to comparable duties, and failure to account for the Petitioner's status as owner of three businesses. The top 10% of medical scientists earn more than double the Petitioner's stated salary. The standard is high remuneration in relation to others in the field, not whether income supports the Petitioner's lifestyle.

published material about the alien in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
The additional copies of the press release appearing on different websites were irrelevant because the material was already determined not to be about the Petitioner. Press releases are generally marketing materials and do not qualify. The website reference was not about the Petitioner but merely cited his work among many others.

lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards
AAO 为什么未被说服
The new letter did not include new information regarding inclusion in biographical publications. Evidence of the lectureship and fellowship was not raised on appeal and is therefore waived. No new evidence demonstrated receipt of a nationally or internationally recognized award.

original scientific contributions of major significance in the field
AAO 为什么未被说服
Complete article copies did not add new evidence of originality or significance. Citation metrics were previously submitted. The new expert letter described potential future impact of a research model but did not show that the model had already been used by other researchers or had a demonstrated significant impact on the field.

AAO declined to reach the final merits determination because the Petitioner did not satisfy the threshold of three criteria, but noted in advisory fashion that the record does not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim.

AAO found that the post-filing material change from physical therapist/consultant to clinic CEO could not retroactively establish eligibility. Even setting that aside, the Petitioner's evidence—unsupported revenue and staffing projections and generalized assertions of impact—did not show that the proposed endeavor would extend beyond her business and clientele to impact the healthcare industry or U.S.…
